One, I have a sneaking suspicion that it's post mint damage, the other, I'm not so sure on. First, here's the more weird of the two So did someone attack this dime with a power tool or do I have some kind of mint error? Next up is a 1966 dime. On this one, not only is the final 6 a little strange, but the border on the right side is indented a bit more than the left side of the coin. Also, there's that double line on the border on the right side that becomes uniform with the coin on the left. What do you think? --Modern US Variety & Error Coins Report this Post to the Staff

The first coin was attacked by a mad-man with power tools and is not a result of striking errors at the US Mint. An interesting curiosity ..... but not worth any numismatic premium. The second coin is an 'error' but a common one. This is referred to as a Mis-Aligned Die ..... you'll see that abbreviated here as MAD. It's the result of the obverse (hammer) die being slightly off centerline of the strike ..... hence the 'double rim' on the right hand side of the obverse merging into the rim on the left hand side. Alas .... no true premium for this one either as they are quite common and often find. Lastly ..... note that there is a sub-forum titled "US Error and Variety Coins" ..... you could have posted this there for greater viewing by the true experts.
