stewart Pillar of the Community United States 1126 Posts	Posted 10/23/2010 07:47 am I ran across this 1875 CC Dime that has some interesting raised lines in three different areas of the coin. Not sure if they are Die Cracks or something else. Any thoughts or opinions from experts in the 19th century coinage would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Terry Report this Post to the Staff

14ers Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 10/29/2010 1:53 pm It kind of looks like some foreign substance stuck to the coin. Especially between the are and the I in AMERICA. Have you tried just plain soap and water on it? I don't want to open a can of worms here on cleaning coins but I have found that sometimes a coin needs washing rather than cleaning.

southerngent Valued Member United States 469 Posts	Posted 10/29/2010 2:02 pm There are quite a few cut lines and what looks to be a die clash. It seems obvious looking at the obverse at the "America". Actually I think it's a caped die as the clash looks like the reverse is not upside down as in a true die clash.
