It appears to be a minor grease die dime. It's very common so I don't believe it has any premium more than face.
As I said in the OP, I wondered if it was a grease die fill. I thought it odd covering that one letter. I have been doing this for approximately six months. Please forgive my stupidity. I was not born knowing all things about coins. I am just trying to learn
You were right from the very beginning, however, you have to realize that grease is incapable of logic as we know it. Your stupidity looks fine to me! Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question......just stupid answers (all in fun, of course.) The best thing that I can suggest is that you should develop a thicker skin. You'll need it around the "bramble bush". Chris
I can handle a "bramble bush" if you will learn some patience . I am sure it took you years to not only learn the trade, but to also become confident in your knowledge.
One of the best! Have you ever watched the reality show, "Bar Rescue"? The bartenders, including the "pros" that Taffer brings in are a joke. Chris
Except for a few recent exceptions, a letter that is smaller and thinner than normal is the result of intentional die abrasion, not a grease strike.
There is accidental die abrasion and there is intentional die abrasion. If taken too far, the latter can be considered an error.
Ok, none of the books I have mention accidental or intentional die abrasions. Where can I find the information explaining the two and their differences?
