nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15392 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 5:50 pm Lots of questions and two coins for one post ... suggest you focus you topics (and thread titles) by coin so we can reply in the most helpful manner. I'm going to ignore the quarter and offer some opinions on the dime ... Notice that the obverse rim is fully intact in the areas where the legends (lettering) is weak ... so this can not be circulation wear. I believe you already hit on the answer ... a grease filled strike that resulted in weak legends. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Chriscoinmaster Valued Member United States 337 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 9:38 pm I have many dimes like this some even have weak liberty strikes are they worth anything to people or are they just fun to pull from circulation? I save all of mine I will also add that I see nothing wrong with showing the quarter too Post it in the quarter searching thread I one of a few that use it, but thats a nice looking strike I search quarter boxes and don't pull very many beauties out Report this Post to the Staff
michaeln1306 Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 11:00 pm I'm very amateur at grading but I would also say it is due to the die. Notice how the hairline is still defined which is raised almost twice as high as the date....the hair would show more wear. Report this Post to the Staff
RollHunter Pillar of the Community United States 687 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 11:13 pm The dime was Struck Through Grease - not wear and not an issue with the die. These are pretty common, but do occasionally sell for a small premium on ebay (as in somewhere between $0.10 and $1.00) if the stars are right. Personally, I'd spend the dime and keep the quarter if you're working on a quarter album. Edited by RollHunter 05/30/2011 11:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
