ThePhiladelphiaPenny Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 This coin has been heavily damaged. You can still see the vague design of Jefferson's head, albeit heavily scratched and worn. Looks like a 2016 to me. I don't know if this was intentional damage, or just unfortunate circumstances. Did you have any questions about this coin in particular?

Greenstang Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Whatever caused it was done after the coin was struck so it is just PMD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri Charriere Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) If there are no violent objections, I am going to take the liberty of calling this the 2016 "uniface" dime. All in favor, say Aye! Edited September 10 by Henri Charriere Add date. JT2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 This apparent 2016-D Roosevelt dime was extensively scraped or abraded on the obverse, while the reverse was protected. I can't tell how this occurred in this case, but coins that have been embedded in another object or surface with one side exposed have been known to look like this. While there is such a thing as a uniface strike, this clearly isn't one.

The obverse was abraded with calculation and care for unknown reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powermad5000 Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 I wanted to say dryer coin, but that raised part is too perfectly centered for that. It is possible this was an experiment with a lathe. Either way, it is post mint damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is I see absolutely no evidence of damage to the rear so if this was rolling around in a dryer situation the reverse would have at least a little damage. Sorry but I am sticking to my analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
