Coin obsessed New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 2:01 pm Hi my name is mike..... I found this dime a few days ago and was wondering if it might be a mint error of some sort...... 2 things I noticed is that 1 it has some sort of wierd press to it and 2 if you look at the chin you will notice a pimple like mark.... That mark is not dirt or scratch because it coming out of the coin like a pimple..... It's wierd Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 2:35 pm The angle and light reflection make it difficult to see details + the photo could be cropped or otherwise closer. I may see a slightly misaligned die (MAD). By the way: Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 3:08 pm The wart on the chin is a die chip. We need better pics and a pic of the reverse to comment on the 'bump'. It could be worth your while to get better pics -- I saw something similar and it was called an 'included gas bubble' -- if I recall correctly. Report this Post to the Staff
eagle_eye_18 Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 03/18/2015 3:39 pm Could you please show the reverse of the coin to confirm if this is a MAD? If both sided are misaligned then you have a struck off center error (very minor though). Report this Post to the Staff
