coin amateur New Member Canada 6 Posts	Posted 10/05/2014 7:20 pm At first when seeing the back of this 2001 dime I thought it was purposely damaged after circulation. But upon closer inspection I noticed extra partial lettering on the coin's front between the bottom rim and the raised print. The coin is filled with scratches and the copper colour spots on the back appear to be imbedded metal pieces. Two pictures attached. I would greatly value your explanations and opinions as to what the errors are and what caused them. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 10/05/2014 8:08 pm I do know that what looks like extra lettering is if I remember correctly a die break. Very common for this year. I find it is more common than without. As for the rest I am no pro but my guess is PMD. I just found one with strong die break and a dot in front of the 2. Also I notice the one usually has a tail at the bottom. Report this Post to the Staff

The red may be copper showing under damaged plating or rust. Report this Post to the Staff
