word_84 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/23/2017 04:06 am Hello! My nephew received this coin for Christmas, and we believe it may have some errors. The coin in convex, has three raised lines across the front, and the back of the dime appears to be crooked. I apologize for my lack of knowledge in being able to properly describe these things. I have scoured the internet, and have not been able to find anything like this one. We have almost zero knowledge of coin collecting, and are looking for the expertise provided by this forum to help determine a value. Thank you so much for your time, and help!

Undamaged, that coin probably would be worth around $40-$50. With the damage the way it is you probably are looking closer to $5-6 unfortunately. Report this Post to the Staff

I do recommend putting it in a new 2x2 holder and make sure to flatten the staples. Give it a bit for a pro to chime in. John1 PS: Can you take the coin out of the holder and post new pics?Also your white balance might be off a bit. Edited by John1 06/23/2017 09:41 am Report this Post to the Staff

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
