I have a 1935 Mercury dime, I've tried to upload a picture. Where the mint mark should be is a big blob and there is a heavily raised area on the stick. I've looked at a lot of these dimes I've never seen anything like this. Let me know if anyone has any ideas.

There is the posibility of it being a die break. If you can email me the photo at customerservice@arsave.com I will gladly post the photo and add my comments.

Here is the image of your coin. Unfortunately it is post mint damage. It appears someone made it into a broach or stickpin. The blobs you see are solder which is how they held the pin to the reverse of the coin.

I hope others chime in with their comments, too.

Thanks, Tony
