I may be crazy but I have what I believe is a 1966 dime with 5 on cheek

Hello and Welcome . With that being said, I see no 5 there . Pareidolia my friend .

 

So I must be seeing things

 

But if you look it up there is a known error such as this In the exact same location

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOT AGAIN

We've seen these before on CoinTalk. It's not a 5.
@Fred Weinberg stated once that it could be a piece of lint on the Die.

 

So your saying the 5 on the cheek is not an error

 

No, it is a scratch.
EDIT: or lint, like paddyman said. Which would techichally be an error, but worth nothing and not worth keeping.

 

Not mine. I'm saying the error in general

 

?

 

It's not a scratch. What's the chances that 5 or more 1966 dimes got scratched the exact same way? Hmm

 

The whole 5 on the cheek variety. It isn't real?

 

This is definately not a variety error. It is a scratch or a piece of lint, and I have never heard of it anyways. But I know its not the variety (if there even is one) because it would probably be due to a dropped letter, which this is definately not.

How many 1966 dimes do you have that have 5 scratched onto it? Because a scratch that looks like a 5 can easily happen due to circulation, damage, etc. in its almost 60 year life. Or someone could have scratched that on there themselves.

 

Haha I have actually came across 2 myself and if you look them up there are others that are exactly the same

 

Yea someone scratched it on there.... what a joke. To be that precise on every one with no difference it would had to of been engraved by machine

 

Then what say your response to this

 

Ok, send me a picture of the other one you found that look the "exact same"

 

No.. It's just annoying.

Here we go again

 

What's annoying is someone trying to act like other people can't know what they are talking about. Especially when they're argument doesn't make much sense considering you said before that you thought it was a clash lol

 

Ok, I looked it up and first off, its tilted the wrong way. And second off, 90% of the pictures were waaay out of focus and you couldn't see a thing. And thirdly, that is DEFINITELY NOT worth $2000. It is a die crack. And yes, this is technically a variety error, but I have tons of these found in circulation worth no more than face value. If you are willing to believe eveything you find on the internet is real, and won't listen to anybody because you want to believe you have a coin worth $2000, then go elsewhere. Go ahead, post it on etsy or ebay for $2000... It will fit right in with all the other junk people try to sell for thousands of dollars.

You don't know what you are talking about, plain and simple as that. You may believe you are, but trust me... Everyone else on this site that knows anything about errors will respond with the same thing... A dime worth 10 cents.

There is a multitude of false information on the interent, and that's what you have found.

 

Well, if you can provide photos of both coins side by side, not close-ups that are blurry, so that we can compare them, maybe we will change our minds. Until then, what you see is just pareidolia.
