EI8 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/19/2013 8:07 pm I found this 1985 P dime in my change and noticed a funny blob on top of Roosevelt's head. I knew very little about error coins before I poked around online and was surprised to discover that things that look like this might actually be minting errors. I'm curious what other people think. Could it be a Cud? Or maybe a soldering job or some other kind of PMD? I did my best with the pictures. Are there other known examples of error dimes of this year. There is a "weakness" on the reverse in the corresponding area, but the material does not appear to be as raised as other examples I have read about. Thanks.

papatony Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 04/19/2013 11:46 pm yup that there is a Cud. if you look at the reverse at the same spot you can see the weak strike at the "IME" of DIME. Report this Post to the Staff

XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 11:03 am Its tougher to find Cuds on dimes than many other issues because the dies are smaller which means theirs less area on them to break. Report this Post to the Staff
XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 11:05 am Should be worth easily in excess of $40 Report this Post to the Staff
EI8 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 04/20/2013 12:23 pm Thanks for the responses and the info! This very nearly ended up in the bank coin sorting machine. The local coin shop would not have given me $.15 for it (not that I was trying to sell it). It must be that 99.9% of the population doesn't notice this sort of minor anomoly. Collectors of error coins must be few and far between. Report this Post to the Staff
