Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 02/26/2015 9:08 pm I was at the LCS last week looking for a SL half-dime and I came across this one.It was in the cheap coin albums out front.It looked scratch from cleaning,but,it was about the best one there for the price.And I wanted a SL half-dime,so I figured what the heck.So I bought it. I get it home and look at it under magnification.And what do I see?Another coin with errors. How does a trench that big end up in the middle of a coin?There is also a die crack under the 'DI'in dime.And a 'ledge' going across 'MER' in America. I guess I need to start an error collection.

Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 02/28/2015 07:51 am I don't know. It doesn't seem to be missing any metal. I guess I'll just have to call it a FIDO for now. Report this Post to the Staff

I could recommend somewhere else you might post pictures of this coin to have a real Half Dime expert look at it but the link would probably be deleted by the admin of this forum.
