    Looks like a normal Struck Dime to me.. Some circulation wear.

    What do you think is different on your Dime?

    Or are you just questioning the Mint Mark? Sorry. That looks normal also.
    Die Chips and Circulation wear can affect the Mint Marks.

    137C85AE-EF4C-455A-9FF4-BDB9C1187C47.jpeg Pictures are important. If you are using your cell phone try this setup. Coin should nearly fill the picture. Tap the screen to auto-focus.
    And post using full image so members can see them better.

    Can you be more specific ? like the damage under the first 7??
    we can't read minds. you have something specific which we have to guess at.

    Looks normal to me. Maybe a small die chip but they bring nothing extra.

    I see a line from the base of the neck to the D mint mark and "We Trust" is very mushy, but neither look like anything special. Roosevelt dimes are notorious for poor strikes with worn out dies.

    The picture made me wonder if you were sacrificing the dime in some ritual.

    It works either way but a little unwieldy with the iPad

    Welcome to the neighborhood @haleyXoXo. If you look at a number of posts on CT, you will see that good photos get the most responses. The best are photos posted as FULL IMAGE, not thumbnail, correctly focused and cropped to show just the coin with neutral backgrounds. Correctly orientated obverse and reverse, with closeups of any specific areas you have questions about. Good luck.

    Hum...not sure. Can you make the background bigger please?

    Your statement brought to mind a question: What would be the ‘correct’ orientation for obv and rev pics, flipping the coin from bottom to top or left to right? Assuming the initial pic is the obverse in an upright orientation.
