sservice Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 My husband found this coin in amongst our change. Very weird looking dime with a circle in the center and a starburst pattern coming out from the circle. I never saw a dime like this. The back of it looks normal. It seems to be a little bit thinner than a regular dime too. Anyone ever seen anything like this?? I'll put a link to pictures of it below. http://www.backgroundsbysara.com/pages/dime.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 Looks like someone took a grinding wheel to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syzygy Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 ....hubby says it looks too precise for a grinding wheel. It definitely looks like it was done after minting. Not sure I can even speculate on what tools/techniques were used to do a radial waffling like that - looks cool for sure, but not a mint error, IMO.

I thought it looked pretty cool too. I hadn't come across anything that looked similar in minting errors so I kinda figured that someone did it after minting.
