Looks to be an early stage of a shattered die.
Seems the hardening process was sub par for this die.
Neat example, did you find it CRH?

Thanks, I'll check it out.
Update : Yea I don't know about that . They go rim to rim . this isn't like those .

 

Something a little off topic from this thread..
In Metal Detecting lingo the word Rosie is usually reserved for silver Roosevelt Dimes up until 1964.. Anything 1965 and afterwards we call just Roosevelt Dimes but not a Rosie.. Does this apply to Numismatics also? Just curious..

Example.. When I'm with my detecting club and I find a silver dime I yell out "Silver Rosie".. But when I find a non silver Dime I say "Clad Roosevelt"

Thanks.

 

It has been well understood for a very long time that you are in charge of labels for all coin attributes and characteristics. If you like it I am OK. I also like it that you YELL out Silver Rosie and just SAY Clad Roosevelt.

 

Ok , settled ,but what about Clad Roosevelt I posted ?

 

There's a big crack running from the ear to the chin.

 

Ok . Die Crack I guess .

 

Actually the die progressed enough to separate to make a die crack, not really a die crack, just the surface's separating face.

 

Im no expert by any means but i believe one of 3 things happened here.
1. It was stamped twice. The first being what, 40% off center? Then properly stamped but the build up from the first stamp didnt allow it to compress or escape leaving an almost identical outline as the top of the head and face down to the nose bridge.
2. The planchet had a defect in the clad layering which caused a fold that would appear as a crack.
However i dont discount your thoughts on a cracked die. It really looks like another head punched off center.

 

I don't think we should reprimand anyone for using the term "Rosie" for a clad Roosevelt dime. After all, we still have many people who (improperly) use "should of", "could of" and "would of" instead of the correct words or phrases, "should've or should have", "could've or could have" and "would've or would have".

What the heck! If someone said they found a 1972 Rosie, would you think it was silver?

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood!

There is no way that it could've been struck twice. We would expect to see part of the legend, motto, date and/or mintmark in the fields.

It's possible that it could be a lamination error or die crack, but we can't rule out that it may just be a scratch on the coin. I'd really like to see some better close-ups to see if there is any evidence of coin metal pushed up along the edge.

 

it looks to me to be a die crack

 

It's a Metal Detecting thing.. You would understand if you lived in my world

 

I understand perfectly. I just don't think metal detecting lingo should be the standard for Coin Talk.

 

Do you know what we call it when we find a Seated Liberty Dime?
We found a Sat down!

How about a Liberty Bust Cent?
I just got Busted!

Anything gold?
I got the G!

It's fun

 

I like silver rosie specifically for pre 1965 were all different.

 

Love it.

 

Have you ever found a Funky Chicken?

 

Looks to be a sever die crack but surprised it doesn’t extend to the rim. Could be a possible strike through as well.
