Quartermaster New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 07/13/2011 01:58 am I found a 2007P Rooselvet Dime in curculation the other day, without the reeded edge. The coin is the same size and weight as a regular dime, only with the reed edging. Can anyone tell me what causes this and identify the error for me. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

It more then likely has been beat up in the spin cycle of a laundry machine somewhere hence the reeding missing. I added the photos for you by the way Report this Post to the Staff

I may start one just to see how long it takes and to see if I can make my wife crazy. UPDATE: It took 15 minutes to close the reeding on a Quarter, but only about 8 minutes to have my wife start looking at me in a way that made me start to worry. I think I could smooth the edge completely in about 2 hours and have the start of a ring. I'm sure that divorce papers would be served before I finished it though.
