This dime has an incused impression on the neck of roosevelt and what appears to be a string or something on the outer edge of impression moving southeast into the field curving back toward the neck. What caused this?
I was racking my brain trying to figure out what caused the impression. It would have taken a certain amount of pressure concentrated in that small area and not something falling on it damaging it. The image to me is a mystery and how it got there even more so.
I see the impression you're talking about in each of the obverse photos. I don't know what caused it, but I highly doubt that it's a mint error. I see the "string thing" in photos 1, 6, and 8. Again, I don't know what caused it. It might possibly be a die crack, because it does appear to be raised, but again, I highly doubt it. More opinions are needed.
The string is not raised. If something is struck through and falls out, the incused mark takes the shape and characteristics of what ever was struck through. The impression and string are incused. There is a raised strike in the impression in neck area. Look like an incomplete E.
@Avery G. Ive been collecting since 1969 I think I’ve learned a little and seen a couple of coins in my life. Sorry you don’t like my opinion. Reed
I think your photos do not accurately depict the coin enough to let folks see what you want us to see. It takes a bit of experimentation and practice. I had a difficult time with this aspect of posting photos. The answers you receive from your posts are only going to be as accurate as the photos you post. I could not do photos like this three years ago.
Maybe you should post a list of experts that are permitted to reply. That way the rest of us won't have to waste our time trying to help you.
@Heavymetal thanks for reminding me. I forgot to put this chuckle head on ignore. IGNORE! @Avery G. Good luck getting any help with an attitude like that. Reed the non expert.
