christie Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have a 1982-P non-reeded dime. Has anyone ever heard of this? Rare?? It appears to be perfectly round, and I do not think that it has been milled off. Does anyone know what it would look like if it was professionally milled off? I did not purchase this, I found it in my loose change. I'm going to send it for grading and cert. ,I thought I'd just ask the experts. Thanks for any help you can offer!!!!!!

LostDutchman Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 sometimes dimes are struck outside of the collar (this puts the reeding on the coin) these are called broadstrikes and are very common... on dimes they are worth $5-$25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dime looks exactly like a regular dime, only the edge is smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 well thats the only way that that can happen from the mint... if it doesn't look like that or something similar then its not gonna be an error from the mint... prob been milled off like you thought. pictures would solve it for certain tho.

thedeadpoint Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Just a guess, but could the collar reeds wear to the point where they are too difficult to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

numismatic nut Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Collars can be set "too high". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercoins Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Umm....wear from a vending machine? That's what coins like this are. The reeds simply wear off the coin. What's this about collars being set too high? Where'd that come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
