    I recently got some coins that were collected by a relative who passed away and one of the dimes I found have "JP" engraved and in my opinion is a little to perfect for some one to just write it on there. Any ideas??

    Well, people get bored? Bout the best answer I can give. Your coin is silver though. I'll give you that.

    An interesting Piece. It is damage, but I would have bought it.
    What was the collectors name?

    It is graffiti, but that's kind of fun.

    And yes, it's silver, so there is that.

    OP: An amusing side note to JP is the designer's initials, JS for John Sinnock, which appears below the neck line. In 1946 people thought it was a commie plot and that JS stood for Joseph Stalin.

    There's a more amusing nugget than that: Mel's hole and the 1943 Roosevelt dime. You'll have to scroll down a bit:

    Your dime is known as Post Mint Damage or PMD. Very common. I just picked up a Morgan Dollar with and "R" on it. It lowers the value. Your dime is silver so it's worth a wee bit more than a buck at today's low prices. Any chance someone in your family has those initials?
