Vanity t New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/12/2021 5:07 pm I recently found this Dime on a coin hunt and I was just wondering if the slit in Roosevelt's hair that makes him look like he has a mohawk, with an x above his hair and the slit in his throat errors or is the coin just worn? If it is from being worn how did the slits make make a perfect circular pattern? Also I am not sure if the letters or numbers have doubling or if my camera is just casting a shadow? In some pictures it looks like there is doubling then in others it don't! I also see on the coin that it appears there is something under his nose & he has a dimple on his cheek!I took it to a so called coin appriaser and she said she couldn't tell if it was worn or if it came of the mint like that but she can see that the zero was a little flatter then usual! She barely even looked at the coin. Therefore she didn't give me much to go off! Moreover, I don't have a scale, or a professional coin microscope but I'm working on investing in the equipment I need! However, any advice would be greatly appreciated! And thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff
