yugotex Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 10/29/2015 08:29 am Been away from coin community for a long time but sure could use help now. The image is of a 1988-D dime. Was acquired in a box lot of miscellaneous errors from a major auction house. A multiple struck dime. But, in the obverse's upper left (in front of Roosevelt's forehead) there is a small incuse/backward LIBERT that goes beneath the dime's large perimeter LIBERTY. On the reverse of this dime (upper left) is an incuse/backward GOD WE. The above details are from a Memorial cent, not dime related. This piece appears authentic but can't figure how (what appears to be) a capped die cent got involved with a multi-struck dime. Opinions/thoughts welcomed. Rod in Texas Report this Post to the Staff

UKPennyHunter Valued Member Spain 239 Posts	Posted 10/29/2015 09:36 am Someone has laid a cent across the dime and whacked it with a hammer, this is the only way 2 different coins and/or effigies will be shown on one coin. The only exclusion to said rule is an incorrect planchet, such as a cent design being struck on a dime planchet. Your error is PMD, unfortunately. Report this Post to the Staff
Jake the Dog Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 10/29/2015 09:40 am To me this one looks like PMD, likely a vise job. The flattened part (where ONE from 'ONE DIME' should be) on the reverse looks very much like some dimes I have recovered by some train tracks. If that damage occurred first, then the Lincoln Cent imprints could easily have occurred with a vise. Report this Post to the Staff
