I'm going through a bunch of coins I just bought at auction and I found a 1911 Barber dime that I thought was interesting and wanted to get some opinions. There is a line that goes all the way across the middle of the coin and I thought maybe it was some sort of die error. It could also just be damage. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

drakin8564 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 12/18/2022 9:15 pm Thanks all for the replies! Guess I didn't find something as interesting as I thought. Still did alright at the auction though I think. Quite a bit of stuff went for melt value so I scooped up as much of that as I could. Might find some more coins I have questions about in there. Should I make a new thread for those or just add to this one? Sorry about the photos. All I had was my cell phone and that was about as good as I could get it to take. Report this Post to the Staff
