A1agrl Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted Today 5H 18M ago In opening up a Mint uncirculated plastic roll of 1776-2026 Liberty Dimes, I found five coins which all had a Snake Head shaped die chip at the base of Liberty's neck. I call it the Serpent Head Pendent. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1265 Posts	Posted Today 4H 35M ago Nice! I was looking forward to the die chips/cracks on this design, it just seems ripe for them. Report this Post to the Staff
A1agrl Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted Today 4H 15M ago Straight from the mint uncirculated, I have found so many die chips and cracks on the 2026 dimes. In the same roll as the five Serpent Head die chip coins, I also found three other die crack coins like the one pictured below. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75494 Posts	Posted Today 4H 8M ago Nice find. That area seems to be prone to Die Cracks and Die Chips. There's an interesting article on these new Dimes on coinweek.com that might interest you. https://coinweek.com/transitioning-...engineering/ Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19280 Posts	Posted Today 3H 47M ago Do like that die crack (and associated chip). Report this Post to the Staff
A1agrl Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted Today 3H 43M ago Thanks E&V for the link... I read the article and found it interesting that on this particular 2026 dime, the Mint decided to transition between two die curvature designs. I think this means that some coins were minted the traditional way with a spherical face to the die, and now a newer method has been used for the new dime. I could be wrong on this, but my take is that the newer flat die face is prone to cracks and die chips due to a die transitioning error(?). Am I reading this right? Report this Post to the Staff

I believe the OP is referencing the P&D roll set that comes packaged, from the mint, in a plastic tray sealed in cardboard box. Edited by nfine Today 3H 22M ago Report this Post to the Staff
