Hello All, what are these marks that are on these dimes called? I have seen them on a few quarters before. I recall someone saying what they were but for the life of me cant remember. Also what causes it? Between his nose and the lettering.  and on his cheek  Thanks for your help TwistedT Edited by twistedt

I think it is possibly from the edges of another coin. I could be wrong.  |

Thanks guys - kind of thought they were from the other coins. Surprised there is not a technical term for it (everything else seems to have one)  |

They got it correct. (they seem to do so often also)  Another one posted that showed it so nicely I added it to my educational files. (good joy Tommyjet) |

it must take a bit of force for this to be transferred from one coin to another

Lucky. I've been at CU for years and feel my level of knowledge increase in direct proportion to the amount of knowledge available.
Coop, you always provide exquisite information, I can never get enough of it.

I've got a Barber dime with those marks but on a larger scale. PMD, so no value really. Still hoping for a real error or variety from circulation. Think I have a couple greasers but not sure. |

The edge nicks are commonly referred to as "railroad tracks".
