One is that the dime has a slash on the face obv and around the head of the coin is something that looks like mushroom gills. Has anybody heard of this coin before? i cant seem to find any information about this coin anywhere else. here are some pix: The dime itself. Mushroom gills corrosion around the head Slash on face that looks like it had something to do with the Mint. Its not a bag mark for sure Please tell me if you know anything. Thank you   11-02-2009, 01:42 AM   #2 (permalink) Lehigh96 Toning Freak     Join Date: Jul 2008 Location: The Poker Room Posts: 3,012 My Mood: Blog Entries: 2 Forgive me for saying this, but I don't think either of those are mint made errors. Even if they were actual errors, they are not the type of errors that will make a coin valuable. Honestly both conditions detract from the eye appeal of a coin that is 1 year old and will never be rare. Did you create the term mushroom gills as it relates to coins, I have never heard it used before. I like it!   11-06-2009, 09:12 AM   #3 (permalink) SkullReap99 Coin Collector   Join Date: Oct 2009 Posts: 27 Blog Entries: 1 The corrosion looks like mushroom gills so i decided to call it mushroom gills.   11-06-2009, 10:10 AM   #4 (permalink) Treashunt The Other Frank     Join Date: Oct 2006 Location: New York Posts: 16,668 looks post mint __________________ The Other Frank "Buy The Book Before The Coin!" http://www.whitmanbooks.com/Default....wUpcoming_1208   11-06-2009, 10:20 AM   #5 (permalink) jello Numismatist     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Alabama Posts: 2,846 My Mood: Post mint damage. __________________ no one right 100% of the time ***The only dumb question is the one not asked***   11-06-2009, 12:50 PM   #6 (permalink) jcuve Lincoln variety fanatic     Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: New York Posts: 437 I agree, not a Mint error at all - PMD. __________________ JASON C.
