So I'm having an issue the last few days with multiple coins. This ones the icing on the cake (never seen it before). It's almost like a TOTALY worm down coin except it's not (like at all). In the picture I put it next to the most worn dimes I could find at the time. Lol.. 'one of these things does not look like the other'. Idk how this would happen not if it's worth anything. Thank you for any help.
Would this be the most important thing you would want to know? Would you be surprised if I tell you that many mint errors are minor and have little or no premium at all. Looks to me like you have a well circulated Dime. Could be a minor broadstrike. This is maybe why the question was asked about the edge and if it shows reeding or not.
Well the thing is (long story) started a coin collection for my 5 year daughter before she was born..got stolen (by my alcoholic father of all people for beer ) Started a new collection.. got stolen. (I just love living in Nh ). But my thought is if I can put together a large collection of unique or valuable coins she can either keep them or sell when she's older. So preferably valuable in case it turns out she doesn't like coins Thank you! This is a fiasco with my other dime with no stamped date I appreciate your help!
The odd thing is that the central devices look a lot like what you would see on a "dryer coin". That is why I asked about the reeded edge. Chris
you may want to consider a *real* safe, even if small to prevent any collection from just easily walking away. ie, most "safes" you buy from local stores are easily broken into. By *real* I mean something with a 1/2" steel plate door and at least 1/4" steel plate box as an example.
Welcome to CT. IMO you'd be better off opening a savings account for her and put the money you'd spend on coins in it. After 15 years or so, she would have enough to use as she wishes. Not likely to get stolen either.
Exactly what Mountain Man said. Coins are not an investment and certainly what you find in pocket change will never be valuable. Of course there are extremely rare instances but they are like one in a billion or more. You could do coin collecting together with your daughter to educate her on history. That and the time spent together will pay more dividends than putting away coins with very minor and worthless variations. Whatever you do, enjoy.
