allcoinsnewbie Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 12/31/2013 4:44 pm Hello everyone, I am assuming all the smashed areas on obverse are mint errors. But, for the description, what sort of errors are they? Do you think there would be any interest in the coin? Thank you for your time and expertise. Report this Post to the Staff

I can't imagine a way that happened at the mint. Wait for others before acting but to me(I love Barber dimes) that is a $1.50 coin at best w/shipping included. Report this Post to the Staff
