chronos Pillar of the Community Lebanon 506 Posts	Posted 09/15/2019 06:06 am Hello, There is a weird metal form on the coin that is not normally in the Mercury dime design on the reverse. Is it caused by the coin s worn condition or is it an error ? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 09/15/2019 07:05 am @chronos, with this high level of wear, it is impossible to know what has added that "extra" metal. It might be brazing from a mount as this piece could have been made into jewelry at one time. Those parallel lines at nine o'clock on the obverse are interesting to look at but are also just damage.
