<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 476263, member: 66"]The damage in the center of the reverse is from an old dime bank. The bank was a metal tube the size of a roll of dimes with a slot at the top to slip the dimes in and a metal screw that could be tightened down against the dimes in the tube to keep them from rattling around or possibly slipping back out of the slot if you carried it around. If you tighened the screw too much it would cut those grooves in the center of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
