I'm just a book filler coin roll hunter, but I found this one rehejected in a Coin Star. Oddity for sure, so I keep those just for kicks. My question with this though is if it is wear, mechanically altered, or a tru annealing error. Obviously it'll have wear due to the mint year (1967) So, here are all the pics I can supply. All oppinions are welcome. All sharable knowledge is welcome, since not every viewer will ask questions and may be looking for your answer! I can try to take better pictures. Let me know if they suck. Sometimes you need 2 eyes. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, your dime has been exposed to a corrosive environment, perhaps acid, which has preferentially removed copper from around the rim and caused the design elements to lose their detail. Added: Please measure and post the weight. This dime should be very underweight.

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25056 Posts	Posted 01/25/2025 4:02 pm to the CCF, Sniderman! Your coin is definitely damaged - specifically, it has been corroded by acid. The pitting of the surfaces and "cookie" appearance wherein the inner copper layer is shrunken are characteristic signs of a bad acid trip. But keep looking - I've found some great things in Coinstar reject trays. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Sniderman New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/25/2025 4:19 pm @Hondo Boguss I suspected that since the inside seems narrower. Not surprising being in Big Oil Country. Lots and LOTS of chemicals here. Who knows where it has been? Report this Post to the Staff
