amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 12/31/2014 05:24 am I found this coin and wanted to know if this is a dot(does it have to be perfectly round?) or die chip? I searched coinsandcanada and some other sites and came up empty trying to find anything like this on a dime. It looks like you can barely see the vertical bars of the "H" because the dot covers almost all of it. I took pictures of two 1974 dimes for comparison. Any and all comments are welcome! Thanks!

Connicoins Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 12/31/2014 11:26 am I also noticed possible Cud on the letter D...just curious if that was a possible error as well as the lower dot on boat, as these dots/cud was not mentioned? Are they valuable? Inquiring minds what to know... Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 12/31/2014 11:39 am Two dots on the D. Denticles by the big dot on bottom are big and rounded. This dime may have been in contact with a toad. Cuds from Die Deterioration? Not on rim. Where the initials of the design were, is now a hole in the die.

bellmaker Valued Member Canada 180 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 10:02 am Thanks for sharing amnight. Most will refer to it as a dot. Most likely the cause is as SilverDon has indicated. Still an interesting find and would fetch a premium if sold on ebay. Can you please post a close-up of the D in Canada? PS. Don't take the 'Apple Dumpling Gang' to heart, they are rather harmless.

SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 11:02 am All joking aside, I think I see another dot in the 1 of the date. You would think another 1974 would exist out there with this much deterioration to a die. Warty dime. Need close ups of the date and the D please. Thanks in advance, no poll or 1974 RCM Year End Report required Bellmaker, sorry couldn't resist. Edited by SilverDon 01/01/2015 11:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

MY New Years Resolution is to now stay away from this dottiness and associated silliness. It consumes far to much of my expansive numismatic abilities that can and should be used to research subjects that help others in the hobby in a more constructive manner.

bellmaker Valued Member Canada 180 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 1:11 pm No need to apologise for being yourself SilverDon, humour is always welcomed. Polls are a good 'tool' and if people don't like the poll, they always have the option to not participate (change the channel). But not to worry, the next poll I do will come with parental guidance warnings. Report this Post to the Staff
amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 1:29 pm I know they're just being clowns bellmaker. No offense taken. Here are the pictures requested. If more are needed, let me know and I will post them. Edited by amnight 01/01/2015 2:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 2:37 pm Very neat error coin amnight. Thanks for the close ups, the date is altered, dots on the one and seven. Extra metal all over this coin. Edited by SilverDon 01/01/2015 2:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 3:04 pm Thanks SilverDon. I assume that you are meaning the date was altered by a person? Which brings me to my next question. Can you explain how it was altered? Edited by amnight 01/01/2015 3:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 01/01/2015 3:27 pm The 1 and 7 have extra metal, so this is likely due to the same Die Deterioration that caused the dots. The 9 looks to be a bit dinged up, PMD. The dots, I attribute to the striking and a bad pitted die, the coin has wear of 40 years as a circulated coin, but the extra metal was there since striking. IMHO, not an error expert in any way. Report this Post to the Staff
