Hey Everyone, I was coin roll hunti g and came across this really cool coin- It's has quite a lot going on with the obverse and reverse. I'll just post the pictures and you tell me what you think- It is definitely going to get graded. I have other pictures but these are to start, it's like the pictures for the whole coin- super crazy Update-added full pictures of front and back of coin      Edited by Centofawoman

Looks like Die Deterioration. Not an error and no added value. I wouldn't submit it to a TPG unless you want to waste $50, but I can't stop you if you're determined to. |

Something interesting at UST but full images of the obverse and reverse are always helpful.

Given the original photos posted, I'm seeing a case of Die Deterioration. As far as submission for grading, I'd suggest posting full and sharp images of the coin's obverse and reverse before taking any further steps. You're likely looking at a mid-AU grade dime. Full photos will tell us more. |

The designs of the new coins can be affected in the ways already mentioned. 1. Die wear affects each die. As the die ages, the design gets weaker. This is just the way things work. 54% of the coins are struck in the last waning years of the dies life:  So to find a later die state coin is easier to spot that a nice example of each years design. 2. The strike can vary, another fact of life. You can have Struck Through Grease, Machine Doubling, other issues with Machine Doubling like ejection doubling, split plating issues from too hard of a strike, debris in the chamber, lamination of the solid cores of planchets, progressive internal Die Deterioration, year designs that have design issues, doubled strikes, die cracks, chips, breaks and Cuds. All these event happen so quickly and soon the die is retired. I always look for the better examples and look for die varieties. Find the best and not the worst examples. 3. Circulation damage to coins, is another fact that happens all the time. Spotting a wrecked car in a junkyard is easier. The overall shape of the vehicle is distorted. We see that also on coins. So when we receive a wreaked car coin, we the same events that were not on the fresh new coin, but was altered after the accident/incident. Look for the better coins. Take the car off the blocks and spinning you wheels and think you are vacation. Get out a map and see where your are going and then go. Same with coins. We can spin our wheels and get nowhere. Take the time to look at the sites for what is that to look for. Study a certain year to know what/where/how a doubled die look like. Then start looking. So learn what you are looking for first.. You will get somewhere faster when you learn what the destination is, where you are going, and what you will see along the way. The journey will be more productive and you will enjoy it more. |

" Hold on there now,Bobaluy" as QuickDraw Magraw used to sat to his sidekick. Try not to get ahead of yourself. Get to know more about what to look for and when you see it, you will know. I spent alot of wasted time thinking everything was something when most of it was nothing. When you finally do come across " the one" you will know. Because you will also know where to go for attribution and authentication. Just slow down, digest the knowledge available by the many learned people here (I am not one of them), and reference the extensive archives that have been provided at your fingertips thru Variety Vista, CopperCoins, and Wexler, only to name a few. There are many, many more. I have read thousands of post here for the past several years, but only recently registering and posting. I have used this site as a primer along with many other sources to increase my knowledge of the subject before I jump to conclusions and possibly make a hasty decision. I try to apply this philosophy in every aspect of my 65 yr. life. Easy does it! Who remembers QuickDraw McGaw? Just keep on looking, learning, and keeping you fingers crossed. If it was easy, all of us would be the fortunate ones.#9996;#65039;  |
