tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 11:29 pm Trying to learn the low pressure strike vs struck through. My score at calling errors correctly is pretty low, so maybe I get one right for a change. Low pressure strike? Obverse rim seems kinda rippled, and weight is 2.28g 1985-P Roosevelt dime possible low pressure strike Report this Post to the Staff

There was a similar thread that I made a year ago, and I pretty much had the same question as well. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2738 Posts	Posted 11/03/2018 08:58 am This appearance is typical for 1985-D dimes, and somewhat less so for 1985-P dimes. In my opinion, it arises from a combination of exaggerated die convexity (primarily the obverse die) and inadequate upset. Error coin writer and researcher.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/03/2018 12:56 pm Thanks Mike. Think that this subject is not common? Try a search for the '1985 dime' and you will be surprised how often this comes up. Edited by coop 11/03/2018 1:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 11/03/2018 1:44 pm Thanks Mike! So my error score continues to plummet as I wasn't even close with this one either. Ah well, just so much more to learn about errors than varieties. Convexity of the dies themselves are interesting to think about. One would only expect one, or the other, die to be much off so coins should end up mostly flat on one side and humped or bowled on the other. On this one I would expect that the obverse die was convex creating a nice strike toward the center and softer bits as you approach the rim. I think a label of "convex obverse die" might be correct?
