There is SOMETHING going on, and between the 4 and 6 o'clock position:  I did not notice this before and perhaps that is a good indication of where I look on a coin. Look at the edge to see if the reeding is affected in any way. The reverse shows nothing out of the ordinary. From what I know I lean towards a Cud and not a die chip. Value affected: I have no idea. The 1914 is still a NICE example. I recently bought a high grade dime. I did not notice a die clash on it until it was pointed out to me. That dime still is a nice example and I doubt that I would not have bought it had I known. |

Nope as I said nothing wrong the reeding on the edge is perfect all around. That's the only unusual thing there is. Like I said I can take another picture then we won't have to guess on what it is.

You can probably make a ghetto coin 2x2 from saran wrap, cutting a hole the size of a coin with some cardboard, and all that jazz.

I was thinking about using card stock and the existing plastic probably.

After a little more reading and researching, I think I misspoke when I said this dime has a Cud. The 4 to 6 area on the obverse rim is a die break http://cuds-on-coins.com/die-breaks/Sorry about that. -MV |

I believe it is called "rim crumbling" if I remember right.

See ieven after reading about a Cud I'mstill not sure what one is exactly. But like I said to me it looked like the die wasn't perfect when it struck this coin. Its actually a lot more subtle than it looks but the patina makes it look much taller than it is just from the contrast. |

That's a great looking one you got there. I like it a lot.
Matthew isn't kidding about asking him questions. He's taught me a lot of what I know.

Is my dime an alright dime for what it is? I know its not some rare coin or anything but is it a decent grab? I did only pay ten bucks for it.

$10 for an XF range Barber dime is a great price. I'd grab every one I could find at that price. -MV |

"Is my dime an alright dime ..." Most every collector craves reassurance that he or she has made a wise purchase. I do so myself. Yes, it is better than alright! The view of the edge eliminates any post mint damage so the die must have been on its last legs. Now, just where does your interest in Barbers lie? If you have not done so check out this topic: https://goccf.com/t/132805Some of the nicest examples of Barber coinage can be found here. |
