[QUOTE="paddyman98, post: 4020400, member: 44615"]The edge is damaged. If you understood the minting process you would know that there are 3 dies. The Hammer Die, the Anvil Die and the Collar Die. The first two create the Obvere and Reverse image. The third holds the Blank Planchet in place and has the reed design. When the Planchet is struck with many tons of pressure the third die creates the reeds on the edge. The only time the reeds are not created is when it is Broadstruck meaning it was struck out of the collar. Your Dime is obviously not Broadstruck because in that case the it would be larger in circumference than normal. Either someone hammered or Spooned your dime. Something that we have seen many times before. The surface is just circulation damage. The weight does not matter. Coins could have a plus or minus in weight variance to begin with. So it could of been a liitle bit heavier and with and small loss in material it could still be the correct weight it should be afterwards. Lastly.. Mostly all clad coins show the inner copper on the edge. The clad is applied to both sides before the blanks are punched from the long sheets of coin stock.[/QUOTE]
