Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 04/17/2022 06:11 am @chip, can you please describe what you are seeing that looks different about this coin as I'm not sure what you are talking about with just these pics. Also, can you please add the date and mint of this dime? Thx.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 04/17/2022 07:15 am What Spence said. Also add aCOMPLETE photo of each side. This can be important in determining what is going on with your coin. Don't forget, it is only an error if it happens during the striking of the coin, anything that happens after that is damage.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19163 Posts	Posted 04/17/2022 07:19 am Agree with the suggestion concerning photos. Too, the coin appears to show evidence of advanced Die Deterioration. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/17/2022 2:06 pm I'm figuring this is a pre-1998 dime. The DDD doesn't look like that on the single squeeze dies. The devices are showing the taller profile of this coin. So I feel that is is an earlier date than the single squeeze dies. Also the die wear if making the devices walk towards the rims. So it is a as already mentioned, a VLDS die with extreme die wear. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/18/2022 11:30 am 1989 dimes were the older hub process. Of it is not DDD. It is just extreme die wear. also the height of the devices were a clue to me about it being the old die creation process. Extreme die wear. So I refer to these as VLDS (Very-Late-Die-State). It happens on all dies.even more extreme on the larger sized coins. Hope this helps answer your question. If not ask another question. Report this Post to the Staff
