    Can anyone tell me what year this is suppose to be and what happened to that last number? It looks like it’s trying to slip out unnoticed. It reminds me of myself during high school and 8th period math on Fridays.

    That would be coin wrapper crimper machine damage. Your dime was at the end of the roll and someone pressed the tube to hard against the crimping mechanism.

    When I was in High School our cafeteria windows faced 59 Street and 2nd Avenue.. We would climb out of them to escape for the rest of the afternoon!

    Eaten by a crimper machine.

    I miss those days. I started driving to school during my junior year in high school. I'd park off campus (Carlmont High) just so I could slip out during lunch for the rest of the day (they'd lock the campus parking lot gates during school hours). I'd go capture my girlfriend at her high school (Aragon High) and we'd spend the rest of the afternoon at the beach. Driving, having a girlfriend and living close to the beach was definitely a bad influence. In today's world, the kids just loiter at the strip mall nearest the high school while drinking Starbucks and staring at their iphones for hours on end.

    And yet people seem to think kids being on their phones and drinking coffee instead of behind the wheel and drinking beers is a bad thing. ;)

    It’s modern and damaged by a coin rolling machine as stated.

    Your cafeteria had windows?? My HS wasn't even supposed to have a cafeteria... So they converted the gross basement into one. It smelled horribly and was so gross. Laughing stock of the town :)

    I tried to find a picture but couldn't find it.

    Curiosity begs the question, here's "drinking beer" a part of my post that you're referencing?

    It was a probably-unfair generalization. You, I, and I'm sure many other fine young people didn't fit into that generalization. (For that matter, I also missed on the "having a girlfriend" and "living near the beach" parts.)

    Driving while teenaged is a significant risk factor for accidents, although presumably much lower than driving while drunk. Driving while girlfriended probably raises the risk, too.

    @Randi137 I think your question was answered. The machines that some use, has a mechanical device that crimps the paper on the roll end, and if the roll was pushed too hard against it, it will gouge the surface and permanently damage the coin.

    At least you can answer the question: where was this coin?
    Answer: the end of a roll. LOL

    Oh yeah and especially driving with the girlfriend. I was driving a vehicle that had a bench seat, which made it super convenient for her to be right next to me while driving.

    I started driving when I was 14 years old. So by the time I was 16 I was as good a driver as adults. Got my learner's permit when I was 14 in Iowa. My father taught me how to drive in a 65' four door Chrysler New Yorker. Fist time I got behind the wheel of that, it felt like I was piloting a vessel out on the high seas. I thought for sure that the weather at the front of the car was different from the weather at the rear of it, that's how big that car seemed to be.
