I work at a bank and go through around 10-20 dime rolls a day looking mainly for silver, well I do also look for errors sometimes and this guy stood out to me. Around FDR's head there is a raised outline (not sure what else to call it) I haven't seen this kind of error before so I'm not really sure what it is, any help is greatly appreciated! Also the reverse looks normal to me but if you require a pic just let me know Report this Post to the Staff
