Guys I have some images of a Dime I happened upon at a garage sale (I like to flip stuff). It was not in the garage sale but the guy liked my style and could tell he could trust me and showed me the dime and has put me in charge of researching and selling the dime.
I would like to post some images for you guys to take a look at and tell me what you think but unless a mod allows me to post links I cannot do that so please let me know when it is OK for me to post links to the images.
They will be hosted on my web site it is an eCommerce site but trust me the links will have nothing to do with the site and only the images of the dime.
Thank You in advance,
Matt

First of all  Second. don't take my word on this but it looks to have been struck through a capped die. I would wait on others for a confirmation. |

Can you post the weight and a photo of the reverse without the colors? Right now, it appears that the coin was struck through a capped die. |

I really don't know much about coins or the terminology so let me make it a little more clear. All of the errors are on the front side of the dime the back side is fine and looks 100% normal.
Also thanks for the warm welcome. I am heading out for some quick lunch and will be right back.

The weight is within tolerance. You have a dime struck through a capped die. I believe this is classified as an error and carries a premium. You may be able to look at e-bay to see how much of a premium. Other forum members will also share more information with you.

There is most definitely 2 heads and one tails side on the heads side of the dime. How exactly would that happen? Animation to show the errors.    I cannot find anything like this on ebay. Matt |

Ok after some further observation I see that this is not a double die on the heads side it is a die clash because the other head is indented not raised while the tails clash is also indented over the head. So it is a Double Clash with head and tails I suppose? Any idea what the value of something like this would be?
Thank You,
Matt

The obverse does appear to have two images, like there was a slight rotation between strikes. I would think the reverse would show the same thing, though. This is one for Mike Diamond to look at.

jdavis, it seems that it was hit once with a clean strike then hit with a clash of another head then hit with a clash of the tails side of another dime. Is that simply a capped die error or is there more? This is the one that is raised like a normal strike. Matt Edited by Matchoo5050

coppernickeldaddy, how would we gather Mike Diamond's attention to get him to check this out? Would love to have it checked out further.
Thanks,
Matt

Doubling is possible from the rotation of the die cap. I thought of that after I posted what I did. That is really the only probably cause for the doubling. |

As several others have indicated, this coin was struck through a late-stage die cap.

Mike, how does it have an impression of another heads and tails side of a dime on the raised strike? Most of the images I see of die cap struck dimes have been impressed by the die cap and are very hard to see while this one has a raised Head and impressed head along with an impressed tails side.
Anything special? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
