    Hi All,

    Am I looking at gas on the Reverse or post mint damage?

    Thank you for your opinions.

    Looks like just a circulated coin. Is there certain areas in reverse that make you think there could be an error?

    Hi happy_collector,

    Thanks for looking. It "looks odd" and feels a bit thin. A friend pulled it out of a yard sale box. The images don't do it justice at this resolution. I'm having difficulty telling if it's bubbling or etching. I'm beginning to think that it sat in something acidic.

    Looks like possible environmental damage. Lamination comes from improper alloy mixtures. There is no evidence of that here.

    It's a damaged dime. Spend it.

    Agree with others that the coin is simply damage, environmental or circulation. Keep searching. You may find something nice.

    Strike through greese , spilled milk, idk.i was told strike through grease when I asked about this dime, have a pair of 1972 dimes as well as a pair of 84 dimes that have the same texture but more profound, as for the cause, I'm certainly not one to have a definitive answer.

    Yours resemble these?
    I think the 1977 here is a die break, the reverse is trashed with die cracks, or again , so I'm ped to believe.
