Kfseadog Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 10/22/2016 07:18 am I found this dime in my collection and not sure what to make of the extra digit. Clash? Overdate? I'm sure someone has a simple explanation, and thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Kfseadog Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 10/22/2016 07:42 am Sorry, I should've clarified - partially overlapping and to the right of the zero, there is either an 8 or a 3, I'm inclined to say the latter. Report this Post to the Staff
