CoinMeLuck New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 06/04/2015 08:17 am Hello fellow coin enthusiasts, I've come across a dime and I don't know what to think. I'm not even sure if what I think is even possible, but that's why I'm posting here. There's discoloration in between his head and the metal, and same on reverse , and I don't know if you can really tell from last picture, but the rim actually narrows where the metal is. My opinion is the piece of metal, is a piece of the die that broke off when stamped, but I didn't know how or if it would be possible Until I saw this. Any suggestions would be nice to hear Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 06/04/2015 11:00 am It looks like solder or similar Post Mint Damage. Whatever it is projects out beyond the confines of the collar on the obverse yet the coin is struck normally. This is really not possible within the minting process (as we see here). The image of the die looks familiar. :) Edited by koinpro 06/04/2015 11:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
