    I've been lurking on here, but I finally registered, and this is my first post.

    When in a grocery store, I always walk past the CoinStar machine, and check for the left behind rejected coins. I know that the rejects are either error, or old coins that
    the machine discards, and most people never look at the rejects, they leave them behind.

    I found this rejected Roosevelt Dime, that appears to have not been struck hard enough, weak strike. Denver Mint. 2010.

    What are your thoughts on this error dime?

    I took this to a coin shop, and was told probably this was a janitor error. Janitor's play around with the presses, and make currency, but make many error coins too. I was told it's an oddly created weak strike.

    Not even close. If a janitor gets near a machine, plays with the presses or makes currency they get fired.

    Very, very, very few coin shop owners know anything about error & variety coins. It takes too much time to learn about them and study them which eats into their profit picture.

    What a bunch of garbage :yack:

    I'm a janitor. I have the tools to mimic your coin.
    But that doesn't make it any kind of error :facepalm:

    An error isn't made after the coin leaves the mint!! That coin shop owner should have admitted he had no idea what caused that! His GUESS was way off! I also vote for a dryer coin, but that certainly was not done during the minting process!
