The first strike left the reeding on the edge, while the 2nd broad strike stretched the reeding to the breaking point and partly detached it in several places. I find these errors fascinating and in fact, have had 3 in my collection at one time. I also found it interesting that the same buyer bid and won all 3 coins when I listed them on ebay.
I've always thought that reeding adds a fairly high cool factor to a lot of double struck coins. It is something cents just don't enjoy. And that is a very lovely dime!
