Here is an interesting dime I found!

It is 197? Something.. It is slightly capped,and looks like it may have been stuck and struck a few too many times.

The fact that the coin appears weak on both sides does not bode well for authenticity as a mint error. Better pics may "clear up" the issue.

I can't see it very well but the rims look to be intact and nicely raised which doesn't usually indicate PMD but who knows if you can't make out the details.

@onehappyangel You posted a few coins and none of us can say much in terms of comments because the photos lack enough detail for some of the error aficionados here to jump in and explain what's going on.

Welcome and thanks for posting them.

@ Ugly...

Sorry about the pics. I am new at this. I'll try my best to post larger pictures. I'll go back and re-post larger ones now. Thanks for the insight!

Cheers!

Is there any reeding on the edge or is it smooth?
