I started sorting through my son's piggy bank with him and we were separating out the copper pennies and I came upon this dime and thought it looked odd. I sort of think the first part of liberty looks elongated. We are very curious to know if this is how the coin was minted and if so, what the error/damage type is, how common this error/damage is and if it has any value above face value. Thank you so much! * Edited by Staff to crop images. Please crop images before uploading. If you do not have software to do this you can use the free image optimizer. * Report this Post to the Staff

Just common and only worth 10 cents. There might also be some die polishing going on there also to prolong them before changing over to new ones.

Yes, good example of a worn die coin to compare it to others if you come across that type again! Great learning tool! Report this Post to the Staff
