    I picked up a dime in change the other day and the last digit of the date is only partially visible. Anyone know how this comes about? Worn dies perhaps?

    Thanks Much

    The chicken scratches in the area might imply a weak strike moreso than a clogged die.

    ^I thought that was die deteriation. I don't believe a weak strike alone would cause those scratches.
