Franklin dime, cud looks like drool!

Hey, Joe! All of those parallel striations pointing toward the rim on the 2007P are indicative of die deterioration. I'm guessing that this die was on it's death bed.

I see. I found an article on it. What if "let's say" this anomaly was caused by a repair to the die. Would that make it a variety?

I don't want to stick my neck out too far on error vs. variety as these two terms seem to be used differently by different people even though there is a definition of both. Working on a die can create many anomalies like missing designers initials or other elements of missing design parts which is over polishing of the die. There can be lathe marks from excessive tooling. Weather either of these, off the top of my head, are error or variety I will leave up to the others to comment on. Perhaps @paddyman98 could explain better.

 

Perhaps as Chico Marx said "If you look at it, it's a barn, if you smell it, it's a stable".

 

Ummm. Do you know how a Die Chip/Break happens?

 

Yea yea.. but two different years very similar die chips. Funny and suspicious.

 

It's a common spot for Die Chips..
Here is one I own on a silver dime -

 

One of my Mom's pen & ink circa 1933

Not a CUD.

 

A very talented lady.

 

Depends on what your trying to sell. If you sell manure for fertilizer a stable smells like money. If you sell thoroughbreds a barn smells like money.
I really need a more logical answer than that Kent. I don't follow my nose. I do smell my coins. That topic for may be for another thread perhaps, but I love your analogies.

 

I like it Chris but I'm not seeing the correlation. Groucho is the icon of comedy. Did not say a thing but made you laugh.

 

So what is it? This has been discussed in other forums with no definitive outcome.

 

Thanks for opinion. Don't know if this thread is worth the trouble anymore. I'm personally calling it as die deterioration based on the pro's input.

 

Kentucky's mere mention of Chico reminded me of my Mom's painting.

By the way, Harpo (top) was the mute. Groucho (bottom) was the "cigar"!

Right ... harpo great episode of I love Lucy on you tube starring Harpo Marx

 

The Marx Brothers movies are hilarious, especially those that made fun of Hitler and the Third Reich.
