Welcome....

Port Ewen Ace or Galenrog can supply you with an answer. Looks funky to me but I'm not even a rookie when it comes to coins.

Yeah, that doesn’t seem to be post mint damage to me.... you might have a winner there.

That absolutely is pmd. Someone with too much time on their hand did that.

I am new to this. How can you tell. I dont see scratches that would tell me it was filed down.

Definitely post mint damage. There is just no way that could have happened during the minting process.

I pulled a similarly worn penny out of the washer a few months ago. One side with almost no wear, and the other with the extreme circular wear pattern exhibited by your dime. The term we use for this type of wear pattern is “dryer coin”. The term is used to describe coins that have an extreme circular wear pattern, usually on both sides of coins, but not always. Coins such as these pick up the wear pattern by being in a washer, dryer, or other machine that has a great deal of circular movement.

Time for more coffee.

Thank you galenrog. That does make sense

If I may add, learning everything you can about the process of manufacturing coins will help immensely when considering if a coin may be a legitimate error or variety. Picking up a few guidebooks on errors and varieties is also helpful.

Time for more coffee.

Did you get this from a CoinStar machine OR change from a transaction at a cash register?
