Most of the questions are about errors, which people grossly misunderstand. No errors here, just damage rendering it face value. I recommend you read our tutorial at the top center of hvcoins.com home page, "What it's worth." Your coin is what I call a "tapper," someone banged it on the side and rotated it, with something like a spoon; I'm told sailors did this a lot during WWII and see it often with mercury dimes. That's why it has a thicker rim and smaller diameter.

Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value. We ask that before you write and submit such questions, to PLEASE first read through our existing postings and our "what it's worth" primers.
