Was searching through a roll of 08 dimes and found two with this same error in the sail!It's hard to see in the picture but the lower half of the front sail is weakly struck,same on both coins I found,maybe tommorrow when the suns up i'll get a better pic.Anyone notice this error in any of theirs?  ***Edited by Staff to fix image code*** |

Yea, I can see that, the section right underneath the date. Good eye
Whats going on with the beads along the outer-rim around 8 o'oclock, 8:30, and 9:15 etc.

all beads are intact the photo is bad making it appear missing beads,the actual error is above the 10 in 10 cents,that part of the sail...never got a chance to try a better photo today as I was out all day,heres a photo I took after this one,i circled the error area,will post a better pic once I have the right lighting and you will see it is interesting!and there was 2 exactly the same so there should be more out there!

ok heres the area circled in red,still not the best lighting but I promise the next photo will be perfect as soon as the lighting is in my favor and I have to play with the macro on my camera in the right light  |

Dollar 1948 you were right with the beads,i just assumed it was my camera as it only shows up on macro with my digital camera,I looked again with my loupe and those beads that show dark in the pic are stamped almost flat very shallow!I'm assuming there are more of these out there but as of yet none have been found or everyones beiung hush hush about it heh heh. Since I have two I will throw one up on ebay and keep the other for myself. |

Keep an eye out...theres bound to be more,I got 2 and sold one for 7.00...not bad but I don't see it ever being as valuable as a 69 large date!When I get a scanner I'll post a real photo of this little error dime.
