KittenLove Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 04/25/2017 3:03 pm I have some dimes that look like maybe material on some leaves and one on the stem. I tried to take a picture of them but I can't get one without it being blurry Any advice on how to take a good pic of it. Thanks for those who can help. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Not much of a market or investment value in these. Some DDO / DDR/RPM have high value depending on rarity, but those are just that, rare, seldom found in circulation. Not impossible, but I would buy meteor insurance before expecting to find one!! Report this Post to the Staff
KittenLove Valued Member United States 158 Posts	Posted 04/25/2017 5:20 pm Thanks for your input. Here is a pic I took and maybe you can see what I am talking about. Don't know if a Cud or a double dye. The area is on the right at the very top of leaves. What do you think. I do hope the pic will be okay for you to look at. This is a 2003 dime. This is the only one I have from that year or any other year that looks like this one. Report this Post to the Staff
