I have not been able to find this in a cherry picker guide or in any of the 1930s dies. I believe this to be a test strike during an engraver alteration of a 1935 dated die. It would be utterly unique if so. Anyone have experience with these dates and dies? I will post better pics later.  Edited by Arsith

 To CCF! That looks like damage to me (Post Strike Damage). I don't think it's an error at all. Errers and Varietys.

to the forum! I think it is just damage as well. The only known Mercury dime overdates are 1942/1 and 1942/1-D. There is a debated 1936-S that looks like the 3 is over a 2, but I personally don't believe it's a true overdate. |

It is definely not post damage. It is raised lettering. You cannot have damage like this that creates a raised portion of What I believe is a 7. It looks exactly like a test strike from a die that was being recut on the date and made it's way into circulation and should not have therefore rendering it entirely unique. I'll get some better pictures up later.

What I would like to do is actually identify the date and the die that struck it. Its a Philly strike btw.

I've been doing numismatic activities for well over 20 years and have always had interests in errors. I can 99% say that this was struck with a die that produced an over date.

Arsith To the forum Please crop your photos and perhaps take a larger clearer one of the date only if possible. Hard to tell by this photo what you have here. Don't want to jump to any opinions until I can see what I'm looking at. Edited by JimmyD

I would certainly agree you can have post strike damage with raised lettering, all it takes is a hit in the right spot and with circulation wear, this can arrived to what it appeared now.
But without better pictures, it would be your words against what other believe to be. One thing I'm certain its not a test strike.

Try to get some close-ups of the date. With the one photo you gave, it looks like damage. Maybe it actually looks like an overdate close up.

Picture is not good, but it really does look like PSD. Like something has hit the last digit pushing the metal to one side making it look like a 7. |

Sorry, but I DON'T think it's an Overdate. My opinion will still stay the same. I think it's just Post Strike Damage and not an Overdate.
Errers and Varietys.

A closer pic and clear pic of the date will shout volumes as to a legitimate assessment. At present all we have to go on is: 1/ Your pic in which we cannot see the date close enough. 2. There is no known overdate of this year. 3. A proper hit can, ideed, raise metal on a coin. This can occur, aspeople are thinking it may have,even on the same number. This is why people are giving opinions to this not being an overdate. Since we can zoom in on the pic, its not a matter of making the pic you have larger, its a matter of trying to get the details of the area to show better (and larger).
