*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum.  ****** Edited by Staff to clarify the topic title. Please put as much info in the title as possible; they are crucial. ***1970 D Dime with odd error or damage on obverse im at a loss at this time to determine how this could happen, see image. the valley is visually equal in depth,,falls short of the torch at one end and the rim on the other,, as though this is not a coin machine damage or anything like what we usually see. im thinking planchet error? I do not know if this is a variety or not, did not see any example on wexler.

Not a planchet error or a variety, it looks like a small Struck Through.
In the future please post a photo of the complete coin along with the closeup.
This helps to give us a better perspective of the coin.

Might be a struck through.  |

I think Struck Through Thread is a strong possibility. It doesn't look like there is a plow line of raised metal from a scrape.

as in a "strike through grease"?
die crack would leave a raised area,, this is a dry river bed like impression,,
wondering if it was stamped and a piece of fabric or hair was on the DIE,, in otherwords maybe a dirty die?

ok,, understood,,,,
in this forums experience,, what are the odds there is another like it?
im thinking only if the thread was stuck to the Die then the possibility of yes for maybe just a few like 10 or so,, not sure if this has value or not or any desireabilty. I find coins,, put them up and one day my boys can dual it out as to who gets what when I check out.. LOL

Leaning toward strike-through.

I agree with the Struck Through consensus.
Errers and Varietys.

That is the reverse side of the coin we are looking at - I'll go back up and fix the title for you.

and I'll agree with a struck through diagnosis here.

ive tried a couple times to correct post 1 content from obverse to reverse.. getting returned a statement that the post cannot be edited for 24hrs,, contact the moderator etc.
the reason I did not post into the variety or errors subsection is because I had no idea if it was classified as either so ..........
