Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 05/29/2011 5:44 pm Hi. For starters I apologize that I can still only scan coins, and silver color ones even harder to get good images than pennies, but it's all I can do. I hope you can get a good enough look at these scans to try and figure out whats happening to this 1952-2002 P dime. It has the same sort of "trail-like bleeds" as the 2001 Volunteer dimes, only this one has really deteriorated and left a lot of extra metal bits behind, especially swirling from the dots (not supposed to be denticles, just DOTS!) Looks like horseshoes Also check the lump of metal trail left between the bottom of the ship and the rim: Scooby-You might like this one Edited by Dottir 05/29/2011 5:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff

cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 8:12 pm Mine only have the extra metal on one side. That one seems to be evenly applied from the center outward. It looks like too much plating. Pass the popcorn please. Report this Post to the Staff
Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 8:31 pm Those horsehoe dragged metal effects of extra metal flowing or dragged? from the dots is really interesting. Almost like too much room/space/gaps between the dies and planchets so maybe extra/excess plating metal flowed in? I don't know the process so am only wildly thinking out loud here Report this Post to the Staff
