Got this dime actually from a bank roll of pennies. Wondering about thoughts on this. I have mine but don't wanna say just yet. Thank you.

Post mint damage of some kind.

It does not really matter exactly what caused all the damage - it's just a damaged coin.

Agree. Appears to be post-strike damage. The piece didn't leave the striking chamber in that condition.

I agree with above. PMD. It's a spender.

Thank you for the input. That is right where I was at with it. Fire damaged.

One positive, though. Clad coinage is tough. For it to go through a fire, still be usable in commerce, and still be identifiable by date and mint is impressive.
