Error Dime? No ridges around edge!

I have a dime that has no ridges around its edge. At first I thought it was just worn away, however, it doesn't seem that obvious. It's too rounded and perfect. There is no rim at all on the coin either. It's not a flat rim, that would be an obvious error. Is this just a worn dime or is it a common error? Thanks.

If it's bigger than another dime, it may be an out of collar strike.

Com'n Ray (fcloud), vending machine wear on an '87????? LOL
You could stand and put it through a vending slot once a day for 25 years and not
get smooth edges. I laugh about slot machine wear as well. Doesn't happen like
that. Take a look inside a vending or slot machine and you'll see why I doubt that
this would be the culprit.
Either intentional or an error.

larger than possibly broadstrike
smaller than possibly worn/damaged
welcome to the boards, you can learn lots here if you want to, and willing to let people tell you when you are wrong

I have no idea.
<< <i>Spooned? >>
A lot of spooned dimes turn up in my dime boxes.
I know this is ten years late-way beyond what's fashionable- but I believe I have a dime that was minted without ridges.
It weighs the same at all dimes from that time period. Same diameter. I hope someone who knows what to look for can help. Thanks in advance
Welcome to the forum!

It's best to start your own thread rather than add to a 10 year old one.

Your coin was damaged after it left the mint (PMD) post mint damage
@Jadedsince71.... Welcome aboard.... Your coin has Post Mint Damage (PMD)...Likely spent time in a dryer going round and round....Cheers, RickO
That new Dime added has been “tapped” on the edges it’s not minted like that-
It’s an altered dime:::

It can't be in have one too 2017 denver it weighs 2.4 so it cant be worn pretty deep on both side
Spooning (one term used to describe the act of tapping the edge of a coin) does not change the weight, only the look.

What can't be what? A 'tapped' dime can result in the reeding being pushed smooth all around the edge.
Read this thread
It doesn’t have to be worn down, it can be mashed vertically on the edge.
View the picture above, notice how it is a tiny bit taller on the edges
Seriously? When was the last time you saw a vending machine that took dimes?

If they take coins, they usually take dimes.
There's definitely no reeding.
Someone probably grinded it off.

Looks like the real deal to me. IF the edges were ground off it would definitely so grinding marks, which it doesn’t. Looks like un-disturbed surfaces on the edge to me, 100%.
C'mon. It's tapped not ground. Cut the newbie some slack.
I have the exact same dime, perfect condition, no ridges, you can see the cladding . 1995 D
....and it's caused by the same thing that happened to the others in this thread.

it is best not to handle your coins like that with fingers on the front and back. the fingerprints if left unchecked, over time, can damage the surfaces, significantly and unnecessarily reducing value, when you come across something that has some value.
can i see pics for the front and back? professional curiosity.
You realize you're asking a question of a person who has only posted one time and that was nearly two-years ago, right?

ya. i throw a lot of nets out and if something gets caught, that is good if not that is good as well. i have many bookmarks for these nets and check from time to time to see if they've caught anything. if not, i usually remove the bookmark (the forum kind) and move on. i got in the habit of doing the bookmark thing from SO many people NOT posting updates in a reasonable time frame and while i wanted to see how things turned out, trying to keep track was FAR not worth the effort but worth the effort of a post or two. but your bringing that to my attention is appreciated in case i missed it.
Hey! Where'd my soup spoon go? I'm pretty sure I see impact spots. But that's just me. Peace Roy
