Expat1 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 11/25/2021 11:55 am Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Somewhat of a coin newbie here. I have an 1842 Barber coin missing the "One Dime" stamp completely from the back of the coin. At first glance I thought it was altered post mint looking at the diveting on the coin but now I'm just not sure. I Welcome any feedback from the SMEs in this forum. Best Regards!

But you can still see the deep scratches in the area. This is actually pretty cool! Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
