1966 Roosevelt Dime with Unique Markings on the Rim

Hi, I am new to CoinTalk, but I found an interesting coin and wanted to find out if anyone had any ideas as to whether it is an error coin or got these markings some other way. I've dabbled in coin collecting for years, but I have never run across something like this. I would write it off as just scratches but they are far to uniform. Any thoughts. Thanks

Post mint damage. It looks like someone started to design a necklace or ring or other piece but gave up

 

Agree it is just post mint damage.

 

PMD. Reminds me of a Spiral Graph design. Why? Who knows. How? Who knows. But a neat conversational coin that I'd hang on to.

Welcome to CT @jaegar and thank you for posting Full Image photos.

 

Love token in the making ?

 

DEFDAM - Definitely Damaged.. Some creative post mint markings.

Not a Mint Error of any kind.

 

I love your opinion sir now I have an idea if I saw like this.. it makes me smile when you said... but give up lol

 

Not a mint error. It's been damaged just like the fancy scroll work on this coin, which I own. Yours may have been the start of a lovers piece that they gave up on. It may just be someone that was bored and had nothing to do.

Welcome to CT.

 

Thanks, everyone. I was inclined to believe that was the case. I'll hang on to it...if nothing else, it is an interesting coin.

 

If you’re into it for 10 cents you’re good

 

I watch my change so I noticed it as I was sorting. So yeah totally worth 10 cents
