[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 6543162, member: 13307"]Poking through some mint sets and found this 1974 P Roosevelt Dime with some interesting damage to the obverse and reverse rims. Obverse shows 10 indentations from around 3 o'clock down to about 5 o'clock. Reverse shows what looks like one long straight indentation along the same location (reversed, obviously.) So, looks like something crimped down on the coin before it was sealed in the plastic (or, honestly AS it was being sealed in the plastic) - so I'm curious what could have caused this - can anyone help me out? Obverse (entire coin) [ATTACH=full]1262297[/ATTACH] Reverse (entire coin) [ATTACH=full]1262298[/ATTACH] Closeup of the crimp on the obverse [ATTACH=full]1262299[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
