Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 04/13/2024 11:28 pm I am going through an old bank roll of dimes I picked up. So far, I have looked at 6 of them (3 spike heads, 2 with misc. die cracks, and 1 with nothing). The dies that struck these coins seem to have been nearing the end of their life. Here is the first one - note there is also a long die crack from the B in liberty to his nose and down past his mouth. Also, above the eyebrow on the forehead there seems to be a crack forming. No pics for these last 2 items. Report this Post to the Staff

Seeker_101 Pillar of the Community United States 1791 Posts	Posted 04/14/2024 01:23 am There are quite a few in this roll in varying states and different areas. I have one other I want to show that goes rim to rim in an arc through his head with more cracks showing, small die chips and some kind of gouging around the top and back of his head. Just having trouble getting good pics. Report this Post to the Staff
