Franks Skull

So I was going through more of my dad's collection today and came across some more unlabeled coins. This monstrosity caught my attention mostly because whatever was done it looks like they peeled poor Franks skin away down to his skull.

Chemical damage E.T.C definitely not an error but.still 10 cents and its quite the charm and love the thread title.

 

Yeah it's definitely unique, lol. It kinda reminds me of the old hobo nickels.

 

What year is it?

 

2006

 

Franklin? Franklin? What?

 

I

It would be even cooler if you had the other piece of the cladding error.

 

wait so it is an error?

 

Ok just did a little research and your right,learned something new,this is a very odd one and it looked like damage to me at first but now i see the difference.

 

Wow !! That's Waaaay Cool !

 

Wait what?... This is an error? I thought someone just melted his face...

 

Who’s Frank? That’s Roosevelt! And it’s damaged by acid.

 

I think by frank he ment aka Franklin Delano rosevelt.

 

Yep, Franklin Roosevelt, lol.

Acid was my thought when posting too. Just thought it was bizarre looking. All that talk of errors got me excited for a minute there, lol.

 

I'd like to hear from a few people

Well my 13yo son really liked it so hopefully it's more than I thought since it's his now. I've been trying to get him interested in the hobby but this was the first coin he ever showed interest in. It would be great if he started out with something worth more than 10..err... 8¢.

 

Can you show both sides (full shots) and the area's edge (closeup)?

 

Looks like a frontal lobotomy. That went a little overboard...

 

Umm not sure I have full reverse shots saved on my phone, only close-ups, but I'll post what I have. I can do more after I get home from work if needed.



That edge shot is what made me think acid even though the cladding looks broken away. I guess I should've posted these sooner but I was just thinking it was freaky PMD.

 

Wow, the back of that dime looks like someone spackled it with plaster and sprayed aluminum paint over it. Or that it melted... weird.

Almost reminds me of those chocolate coins that they wrap foil around at Easter time.

Was the die that messed up on both sides?
