Hello, I hope this is ok that I post this question again. Just wondered why this dime looks this way, it has the Queen on one side and the other side is blank. Any ideas?    |

I'll chime in.
From your previous posts on this piece, basically same thickness as a regular planchet, I'd suggest you spend the $20.00 and send it in to CCCS. Or sell it as is but who knows how that goes.

Very nice! The coin is called a late-stage brockage. The "blank" side was struck by a previously struck coin stuck to the reverse die. They are tough to find on US coins; don't know about Canadian. |

Hi coppernickeldaddy Excuse my bad english. I see on the reverse pic it seems to me that the queen look at right. On a coin struck by a "Capped Die", the queen look at left, no ? En français Je vois sur la photo de l'avers que la reine me semble regarder à droite. Sur une pièce frappe par un coin bouchon "Capped Die", la reine regarderais à gauche, non? http://www.numicanada.com/pieces-de...ouchon&id=40Edited by castor

Your english is fine and much better than most people's french.
I agree that the fuzzy pic seems to show the obverse the wrong way around for this type of error. But that might just be because it is hard to get a good sharp picture. Windy, any chance of a sharper and larger photo?

In my opinion, the picture is not exact enough. Probably a brockage, but I retain the right of denial pending more gooder pictures...lol

Hello, I will try to post a better pic of the blank side of the dime.  thanks so much for the replies, just wondered if anyone would know the value of a coin such as this.   |

The value is as easy as this.... What ever someone wants to pay for it......Just like the post I have up.. if the price is right for you SELL it...

windy,
art is right about the value.
But your picture is really no better than before. I do know that it is sometimes hard to get a good picture with something like this. Autofocus might not work very well on a piece like this. If you can disable it and try a manual focus, that might help. And a macro function would help. An actual scanner might give a nice view as well.
