im notsure if this dime was struck from the mint like this and is it worth getting graded

It has been damaged with wire cutters, no value

No, it was done after leaving the mint with a cutting type of tool and is just damage.

Actually this could be an incredibly valuable "art" coin. Clearly the artist precisely made each cut, and there is no other coin like it in the world. Might even be by Andy Warhol as part of his "Coins From Marylynn Monroe's Change Jar" series.

Perhaps you could take it on Antiques Roadshow to get an accurate appraisal. You'll get more there than if you take it to the bank and try to run it through a coin counter machine...it will get spit out.

Actually I have to believe someone was just trying to make change for a dime...😬

Seems like the front page of the US Coin forum sure is attracting a lot of ALTS & BAMMED prankster members these days.

I don't know if Shelly would but NOTSURE either go home or beg for reinstatement.

I think you should submit it just to get a professional opinion. After all that's what PCGS is here for.

Will you pay for it to help out a new person?

I'm not convinced this is a "new" person.

Everyone pays their own tuition.
