KisNap Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:56 pm There's obviously wear on this dime after 43 years, but it seems like the main culprit is an extremely overworked die. It looks like the obverse has been over polished looking between his nose and eye and E Pluribus Unum looks like it's about to become one solid line. What are your thoughts. I'm putting this in the collectible pile. Report this Post to the Staff

Those dies were way overworked! Nice find. Reminds me of my 1982 LMC with severe Die Deterioration. https://goccf.com/t/322204 Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
KisNap Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted Today 12H 23M ago Wow, your coins a mess too. If the mint wants to start saving money the y should stop minting dollar coins they're storing in vaults and concentrate on replacing dies! Report this Post to the Staff
