Another question on a Roosevelt dime?

joeykoins

Hi guy's, found this in the wild. PMD or not? Quite clear of any burrs if grinded? Also, the deep rim? Makes me think it's not PMD? Any opinions? Thanks guy's. Oh, one thing, I did not weigh it.:)

PMD

Old die plus damage.

joeykoins

PMD, huh? Two things. There are still appearances of lines in the reeds and if I weigh it, if it is grinded, shouldn't it weigh less?

joeykoins

Yep, you're right! The coin only weighs 2.1.
Instead of the normal 2.5. Thanks Errors on coins.

It could only be PMD looking like that. The rim was not necessarily ground, but flattened and raised by tapping or repeated mechanical tumbling.

You know what? You're right! Thanks I was thinking Silver.

PMD, it could be someone's abandoned attempt to make a ring or something else.

Attempt to make a coin ring. Can’t figure out why with such a small coin. I’ve even seen ones with similar damage to a half dime!

joeykoins

Maybe I should attempt it?

Yes... that coin has been 'spooned'.... Process often used to make a ring... though normally it was silver coins that people worked on. Cheers, RickO
