<p>[QUOTE="lawdogct, post: 82508, member: 1476"]The thick rimmed dime is definitely post mint damage. Many coins end up this way when they get stuck in landromat washing machines, or dryers, for a bit. You can do the same thing to any coin by repeatedly tapping it with a spoon, thus the term, spooned. Do a search on this forum for "spooned" and you will see many examples (some more extreme) of what I am talking about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
