With this dime, the "S" in "E-PLURIBUS-UNUM" appears to have been mostly filled in the die. It's still visible, but it's very flat and almost missing. Not completely missing, just almost. What do you guys think about it? Is it worth keeping?
It is very common for some of the smaller areas of the design on modern coins to be filled with grime causing the letters on the coins not to be struck up fully. Except as a conversation piece or educational piece, it has no value above ten cents.
Not even worth 10.1 cents, eh? I have noticed a lot of pennies with letters on the back being awfully thin. I suppose those are the same errors as this. I found it odd that only the S was thin and not the others. Thanks for the feedback!
