nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15531 Posts	Posted 01/21/2019 4:55 pm to the CCF It did not leave the mint that way - so it is damage and no added value. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21650 Posts	Posted 01/21/2019 5:18 pm Whatever it is, it was added after the coin was struck. There is no way that that during the striking of a coin that there can be something can protrude higher than the coin itself. PMD Also to the CCF Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34440 Posts	Posted 01/21/2019 7:55 pm @Rome3570, first welcome to CCF. Second, while I agree with the others that this looks added on, I wonder if you could also post overall pics of both sides of this dime to this thread? Thx.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/21/2019 8:07 pm I see this often on dimes. Not sure if it was used as a die tack to snap on to a die clip or what. But I've seen this before many times. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34440 Posts	Posted 01/21/2019 8:12 pm A brazed on tie tack does make sense @coop. Perhaps a little like this one: https://jigproshop.com/index.php?ma...ucts_id=2957 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/21/2019 8:19 pm What doesn't make sense is how it would go though to stick to the fastener. Unless it was magnetic? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34440 Posts	Posted 01/21/2019 8:24 pm Not brazing or silver soldering? It looks like a little splash of extra material on the leaves to the left of the torch.

Rome3570 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/22/2019 05:39 am Cant be like for a pin either the back of that one on the link is pretty big like a flat plate on the back of coin not just a tack . And the only kind of welding I have ever seen that won't burn surrounding metal is tig and even then it would be very neat and clean Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21650 Posts	Posted 01/22/2019 08:19 am We might not ever know what it's purpose was but we do know that It wasn't on there when the coin was minted so it can't be an error. Report this Post to the Staff
