What might have caused the mark on this dime?

Never seen this before but assume damage after production. And as some of you have mentioned that I'm probably





not that bright anyway. I would rather ask than assume.

Don't matter how you do it, just do it like you know it!

    Show your thought process. List 3 reasons why you think it is damage and 3 reasons why you think it was produced that way.

    If you can't come up with 3 reasons in one of those categories, that's a good sign that the other category is the right one...

    Post mint damage... grinding... you can see the scratches from the abrasions.

    You assumed right.
    It is damage after it left the mint.

    Some kid in shop class did it with a pedestal grinder

    Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.
