I don't know why the pictures are so bright, I have tried direct light, with flash, no flash and they are either coming out pink, black or extra bright?

I can't figure the ebay game out.I guess you need the right "buzz words" to spark interest.

I edited your images and didn't like what they looked at. But here an image you might like to use next time:

You probably need to reduce the glare on your images for coins. Depending what your setup it can be acomplished pretty inexpensively. If you are using a warm bulb even grocery plastic bags can do this. Just need to place them away from the light in the direction the light reaches your coin. See if this helps?

The image is very washed out. If I was looking for this type of coin I would probably close the page as soon as it opened because it is so difficult to see any detail in the pics.

Especially since you mention you got this coin from circulation. Got to be able to determine the quality of the coin after circulating.

Thank you all for your input and especially to you Coop for taking the time on the picture. I might cancel this listing and re list it with some better picture.

You can use the close up if you wish.

You should simultaneously list it in the US coins: Errors category, not simply under "dimes". Also use the term "2004-D double ear dime", since that's what most folks are familiar with.

Hi Mike, I found an old response from you in regards to this coin circa 2004. Is the following still true?

Parties involved in the discussion have agreed to diagree. Ken Potter, Jose Cortez, John Bordner, John Wexler, and Billy Crawford are convinced it's a misaligned die clash. James Wiles, Bill Fivaz,Tom DeLorey, and yours truly don't find this a credible explanation.

I don't know if anyone is still holding out hope it is a doubled die. I don't think it is. Although the shape conforms to the helix(outer part) of Roosevelt's ear, the ridge is much too broad and the
cross-sectional profile is wrong.

I'm leaning toward some kind of erratic die damage, like a die dent. Other forms of die damage may fit the bill.

So, I guess like many die defects, this one will remain in the suspense account for the forseeable future.

It is amazing there really is not very much info available online in regards to this coin. What is the current expert opinion? Is it a doubled ear, added image, die clash or something else?

Does anybody have any idea of value or previous sales, I can not find anything.

Let us know when you relist, I would be interested in bidding I almost bid last night when I saw this post but that would have been rather unfair of me since you were strongly considering ending the auction.

Someone did contact me on ebay and I am thinking of doing a trade with him for a Wisconsin extra leaf quarter. So now I don't know what to do. Does anybody have a range of value on the Roosevelt variety?

Wow, I certainly would not have bid that high IMO, a Wisconsin extra leaf quarter would be worth multiple times the value of your coin so it would be a ridiculously good deal for you. However, be absolutely sure they are actually offering a genuine extra leaf and not something with a scratch or worse, an outright scam.

Here are the pictures he just sent me, my guess is that I can choose one or the other. Based on his ebay name and 2100 positive feedback on ebay I would guess he is legit.

Seeing as how I have 2 of the dimes, none of the quarters and really wasn't selling it for need of cash. I think this might be my best route. Which one would be the value for me?

Hi beachloan,

did you ever do the trade for the extra leaf Wisconsin quarter? I was checking the weekly auctions of my favorite error dealer when I saw something that made me think of you. One item he had for sale this week was a 2004-D Roosy dime with the curved gouge(FS-701), it was in a PCGS AU58 slab and sold for $40.

The problem is the "hype" never took with the 2004 D dime like it did with the Wisconsin quarters. Probably because no one ha a large number of them they could promote and advertise about. Odd as it sounds truly scarce or rare coins can't be effectively promoted, only common coins can be pushed to high prices by promotions.
