    Danomite What do you say uh-huh

    Welcome to CT! That’s not an uncirculated coin. It has environmental damage that has affected the surfaces. The edge is also damage.

    Since when is a bank roll "sealed uncirculated"? Like the others said, it is environmental damage, including the edge. ~ Chris

    Just a damaged coin.

    Agreed with the above answers. Some type of acidic environment ate away at the coin, including the edge.

    Agree with all the above answers. None of what is written on that card is correct besides the fact that it is a 1988P dime. And I guess that you got it out of a roll in December.

    Yep, environmental damage, maybe even some acid damage.

    Decent photos (although a bit redundant)! As noted by our fellow enthusiasts, just an environmentally damaged coin. Spendable.

    can someone explain if it is acidic or environmental damage happened on his coin, why mine im keeping for long has the same splitted edge but mint condition front and back? if this comes from bad environment, why the face of my coin and reverse is perfectly preserved? can someone solve this curiosities of mine? who wants the picture of my coins?

    hey bro, im holding that 1988 p one dime almost mint condition still. However the edge is also splitted.
    now the topic of acidity or environmental effect is not coming to my mind on how the coin with perfect face and reverse condition got splitted perfectly? I tried doing it on other coin with very slim and fine saw but it doesnt happen the way this coin splitted in perfect way?

    I couldnt think of any reason except its not a damage its really an error where it was produced.

    Hey bro.. Wrong. Totally incorrect.
    The clad layer is Cupro-Nickel. The inner layer in between is copper. The copper erroded away due to a harsh chemical exposure. Not a mint error of any kind.

    Looks like it's been in the ground since 1988, maybe 1989.
