Hi all. I read an article some time ago regarding beading, stating that they had learned that too much pressure while striking would attach the beads to the rim. My question then is when a bead becomes attached this way, does it become a denticle or attached beading or should I stop reading obscure articles?
I have one of these cents which I posted about 6 months ago. And thought it was an ejection error. But your explanation makes more sense. Not at home so I can't post a picture of it but will pay attention to this post to see how it pans out.
A bead can't suddenly can't become a denticle even though it might look like one. It would be an attached bead. Do you have a photo you can share with us.
What year is that dime, up until 1993 the dimes had denticles on the reverse before switching to beads on both sides. Yours look more like denticles as opposed to attached beads. The beads on the later dimes are far enough away from the rim that their is no way that they could become attached no matter how much pressure was applied.
