No, but corrosion and damage could cause it to look like two different mint marks. You wouldn't believe some of the things that get posted on here with damage that looks like a letter or number.

If you think that all the responses here are mistaken--and that's your prerogative--the next step would be spending $30-60 to send it in to a grading service.

Mohawk Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I'm with everyone else....it's simply a corroded, damaged dime. There is no OMM. It's simply damage to the mint mark area of the coin, which is unsurprising given how beat up and heavily damaged that coin is. It's had a very rough life and is worth face value, if you can find a machine or person to accept it. James Zyskowski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Zyskowski Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 eBay. Download the app and use the search function. These are available S proof or D circulation issue for $1-2. In very nice condition. Slabbed starting at $12-15 I have found eBay a quick way to get a feel for the value. Many options available. 😉🙀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
