1990 P Roosevelt dime with unique error I can't find anywhere online.

Its an a error as clear as day and i've never seen anything like this in my life. I've seen die filled errors but this looks almost to perfect. Anyways please get back to me and let me know if theres any value to it. I've seen similar errors reach 1000 plus and they were nowhere close to as clean looking as mine.
Thanks

The missing "I" would typically be caused by a grease filled die, which, in and of itself, is not that big of a deal. We see missing letters from grease filled dies quite often, but I've never seen one valued at $1000.00 plus.
Where did you see that value at?
on Etsy?

It is not unique..
Debris filled die.. No premium for it.
Only worth 10 Cents

Etsy and even ebay over value minor and damaged coins in an incredible ridiculous way. There are many horrible postings on those websites. That's why it is important to understand what true errors and varieties are, minor and major. And understand the values. Also understand what PMD is. Post Mint Damage.

 

If it were mine, I would definitely keep it, since it's a great example of a grease filled die & looks wonderful. Unfortunately, that's all it is, no premium.

 

The Dime was blocked by grease and/or debris. This is a common occurrence. You can see the left and right sides of the missing I. Welcome to CT.

 

I have something I need some help with I found this 1990 P dime in returned change and if you zoom in on the picture right behind the crown of Roosevelt's head you can see what looks to me like a reversed letter D and help would be greatly appreciated thank you

 

Rather than start a new thread, for what is probably nothing I decided to just add my question on here. I am wondering if the error on this dime‘s error/damage is from a debris/grease filled die also.

 

Yes. It's a very common issue.

 

You nailed it!

 

Thanks very much for the help. I’ve been going through my pocket change for over 10 years now and doing research online here and there but I’m far from an expert. The differences between something that is a find, and a coin that is nothing at all, can be so subtle. It’s difficult sometimes.

But what about this? This seems different, like not damage, but something that possibly happened at the mint(along the top of the obverse and the bottom of the reverse). I also see several possible double dies in the lettering. Especially on the reverse.

 

Circulation damage plus wear and tear from using it.

 

When a coin has worked hard for a living like your quarter has done, the rim wears down. And when the rim wears down, the letters can appear to fade into what was once the rim. The lettering on the obverse of a quarter is very bold and because they are bold the wearing into the rim becomes more magnified making it appear to be something that it isn’t…... The rim dings? Well, after 54 years of working as hard as this one has…. Could be anything. Bored kid? Late night game of quarters? Who knows? But like @Collecting Nut said just common wear and tear. Keep hunting because it never gets old and I have seen new collectors show up here with a real gem that they pulled from their pockets. It does happen.

 

Well thanks again, but I just don’t seem to have any luck at this. Not for lack the f trying. After all this time I just can’t tell the difference between actual errors, and PMD, even with a jewelers loupe‍♀️

 

Think of it like big game fishing. If it were easy, everybody would have giant fish trophy's on their wall.... The more you do it, the better you get.

 

It takes a long time, even years for some, to get the hang of it. Don’t give up trying.
