Hi all,

Finally been able to get some time together for my coins. YAY!

Anyways, I was going through some recent pocket change and found this, kinda well worn dime and almost disregarded it, but then noticed letters missing in EPU on reverse. I am thinking Greaser... but obverse looks slightly misaligned?

I came across someones prior post that is somewhat similar to what I have, although theirs is more MAD looking on obverse than mine...http://goccf.com/t/260503

More of a struck through a worn die and circulated for many years flattening the devices. Spender.

It was Struck Through Grease, had Die Deterioration going on, and has Die Scratches from the die being polished, in order to get rid of a Die Clash, and to extend the life of the die a little bit longer. The die was in a Very Late Die State, when your coin was struck.
