flipacoin Valued Member United States 102 Posts	Posted 08/20/2016 02:46 am On the obverse, you can see where the G of God and We Trust is stamped inadvertantly. There seems to be a place on the obverse where the dime was "clipped" partially. What would cause this type of error to happen and what category of error would this be? Thanks!

The impression of letters on the reverse looks like a vise job.
