And I came across this interesting dime a few days ago. I'm relatively extremely new to actually seeking out error coins. So I'm curious if you all can help point menin the correct direction on whether it's a shattered die error, an annealing error and possible a strike through? To me it looks like a puzzle of Roosevelt's head. thank you in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 07:21 am I agree it looks like something is "on" the coin. 100% pure acetone soak might help. Here is a link to find info on coin terms like shattered die etc: http://www.error-ref.com/ John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Isthatclear New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/02/2023 5:00 pm I will try the acetone soak here in a short while. I'm 100% positive already that it's absolutely not anything foreign on the coin I have like 75 other photos from all different angles and lightenings that show the defects but didn't want to spam the post with 70 more photos Report this Post to the Staff

Isthatclear New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/06/2023 3:42 pm Alright I have some updated photos. I circled on the reverse of the coin in one of the photos where it looks like the letters u and N between and under the "TA" in stares Report this Post to the Staff
Isthatclear New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 02:14 am Hey just wanted to check if anyone had any ideas still? The last 5 photos above this comment were after about 12 hours in an acetone bath. Let me know if I need to try and upload with brighter light. Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5797 Posts	Posted 04/13/2023 08:46 am Thanks for the extra images after the soak. It's still too circulated for me to tell if anything is going on. There are plenty of recessed pock marks (from PSD) all over the coin which is going to count against it being an error in the overall assessment. The area around the ear looks recessed which could be acid or other caustic substance eroding the metal. I can't think of what might cause this from the minting process. IMHO, the images just aren't clear enough to attribute this to anything but being PSD. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
