gfpollard New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/25/2025 1:36 pm I have this 1964 dime that has some very strange markings in the mint area that I need some help to identify. Looks like a worm coming out of the D, and a compass on the right side and a $ sign for the S. I weighed the coin and the weight is right on for the year of the coin. Please advise, thank you Report this Post to the Staff

They also make laser engraving tools to ID small parts with serial numbers, lot numbers or mfg dates. If you disagree then come up with your own ideas like "maybe Aliens did it?" (or something like that). Edited by westernsky 07/25/2025 7:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
