Well, nothing new there as that's how I just go about life in general, but I digress. So it has this look of a struck through die cap, but the secondary image is of the obverse (so not brockage), incuse, and shifted. Couldn't be sure so I asked Mike Diamond for an opinion and well I suppose it is pretty much exactly what it looks like. His comment was: "Your dime was struck though the detached and laterally shifted bottom of a late-stage die cap. Such errors characteristically generate a set of correctly-facing, incuse design elements." And there it is. The coin appears AU in hand so probably was in circulation a bit until some lucky roll hunter picked it out. My photo set up is terrible with non-copper coins and the dime looks a lot better in hand than in my pics. 1995-P Roosevelt dime mint error - struck through detached, laterally shifted die cap Report this Post to the Staff

Seems like this would have been a pretty late-stage die cap since most of the obverse details show up. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 02/04/2023 03:23 am I agree. And probably the coolest thing here is just how much of the cap was intact after the shift, as it still shows most of the coin's details. This one would be pretty cool-looking using a camera set up like CoinHI is using as my stage just can't capture this thing well at all. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 02/04/2023 03:59 am Yes, it would be fun to play with the lighting to try and pop that second ear out a little.
