coinaki Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 12:26 pm Today I started to look at dimes for the first time and this one caught my eye. I do not know what errors would be typical for dimes so I need some help/advice to get me going. I looked at some sites for any known dime errors/varities, and except for the silver years, only the 1970 is known to have a dd (or any errors). For the photos below, * is that dd or just a die chip above the "Y" of LIBERTY? * the "7" in the date seems to be tilted slightly clockwise. Is this typical for the 1971? I looked at some 1974, 1976, 1977s and they all have a straighter "7". Edited by coinaki 05/25/2013 12:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/25/2013 5:39 pm The coin was struck by a VLDS die. The die flow is connecting the center of the "Y" to the edge of the die. Not a Cud, not a doubled die. Just a very worn die. You can see the heavy die flow to the right of the "Y". A dead give away. Report this Post to the Staff
coinaki Valued Member United States 207 Posts	Posted 05/28/2013 1:49 pm Thanks for your replies guys. Raymo, nothing strange on the reverse. Just a normally worn coin. Coop... then I take it this is associated with a type of Die Deterioration & cracking? I looked up error-ref.com and the closest I came up with is "Die Subsidence" (a.k.a. Sunken die). The following sample photo accompanied their description. Would you agree that's what it most likely is? Report this Post to the Staff
