Unusual bubble on this 2000P dime that I found , it is noticeable on both sides and covers his face completely. Has anyone else seen one like this? Or does anyone know a value of this coin. This is my 1st coin to check online even though I have been collecting for many years and have many coins . I especially like error coins. Thank you, Sharon
Sorry to say it's a damaged dime. What you see occurred to the coin after it was already in circulation.
Thank you Robert, I had looked up such a thing of bubble and believe or not, I found there is a thing called gas bubbles that I thought was strange.
I agree with Fred! In case you didn't already know it, Fred is one of the foremost error dealers in the country. ~ Chris
This is usually caused by coins being in a fire . The heat builds up between the thin nickel layer and the copper core. this causes the clad layers to separate and the pressure swells the nickel layer outward.
Hello. I was reading these posts and I was looking for an answer about a dime that I have that looks swollen outwards on both sides also. I thought what could of done this to this dime? I read your posts and it answered my question also. Thank you, Johnnie H.
