And that's to a bank or a merchant. To a collector its worthless as damaged goods. And before you start arguing that it's a rare "clipped" planchet, look at your picture on the left side of the middle row. The reeding clearly shows that it has been dinged. If you had a "clip", there would be a gap in the reeding at that point, and the arc of the missing area would be the precise shape of a good dime.
thank you guys really appreciate it but what i was mostly looking at was the ty and as well if you look at the america ihas a wired circle that goes all the way around near te bottom of the letters that makes it almost look like a dd but idk about coins i just started this kinda stuff
That was not obvious. 40% of your photos were of the damaged edge. No way for us to know that was not what we should be looking at. Anyway, all I see is a severely damaged coin. I would spend it.
The only person who's arguing, or at least trying to start one, is you. The rest of Hobo's post stating the coin is damaged:
If you are talking about a minting error (e.g., clipped planchet) I would agree. But it you are talking about a coin that was damaged after it was struck but before it left the Mint (e.g., dropped on the floor and stepped on) I would disagree because that would simply be a damaged coin and would not have any collector value. (I know. I know. The Mint destroys coins that wind up on the floor. I was just using that as an example.)
