coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 6:06 pm Something put on the nickel. Note where it has worn off on the high spots of the design? Hard to tell on the dime. Report this Post to the Staff
Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 7:08 pm This came to mind for the nickel, but I doubt that's the case: http://www.error-ref.com/improper-annealing/ I'll go PMD on the dime. Report this Post to the Staff
Bob Levi Valued Member Canada 488 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 7:19 pm The dime looks like a struck through capped die brockage. But the rim being bent is a concern its PMD. Edited by Bob Levi 10/26/2015 7:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 8:22 pm The dime does look interesting. Can you post some clearer photos of it? Report this Post to the Staff
OcalaFlorida Pillar of the Community United States 2824 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 8:45 pm agree better photos on reverse dime.. looking at the rim on obverse being offset by liberty and under date and igwt on the dime, I think that it could possibly be brockage on reverse but would need a clear photo Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 12:53 am I have a large number of indented errors, but never seen one shaped like your Dimes Reverse... I am thinking if the Dime received a normal first strike, then remained stuck on the obverse die while the next planchet rested beyond the collar and struck a secend time, that would explain the indent, but the shape of the indent is very questionable! I am leaning towards PMD unless the shape can be explained... Report this Post to the Staff

Dcnw1983 Valued Member United States 264 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 7:16 pm I am seeing 2 photos of the dime's reverse. Are you seeing photos of something different when you look at the post? Report this Post to the Staff

Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 7:42 pm The dime is a legit error, 100% sure, not post mint damage. It looks as though it was struck through something that also got between the collar and the planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 9:52 pm The nickel was struck on an improperly annealed planchet. The dime was struck through a broad, relatively thin piece of metal. It was nevertheless too thick to have been a detached clad layer. There's no way to determine its origin and identity.

Zimmy Valued Member United States 460 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 10:21 pm Mike.....do you have any idea what this coin was struck through? I did notice that the obverse was finning at the date area which might be an indication that there was extra pressure caused by whatever indented the reverse. I thought maybe it was grease but maybe this one was struck through some sort of metal layer too. I also noticed there seems to be a layered effect within the struck through area.
