I found this coin years ago, and have asked opinions on it before, but I am curious as to what you think of it here, seeing as I am sure many if not most of you know your coins! This is what appears to be a dime, stamped with the penny and the dime face and back on both sides. The one question that has popped up was if it is a press job, but all of the images in the coin are protrusions, not going inward at all. A coin dealer looked at it to test the authenticity of the metal of the dime, and he confirmed the dime was real. Please tell me what you think!
i guess i should've read the original post as my answer was there. Anyways now i don't know what to think about this one
Nice 11 cent coin \ http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_much_...hat_was_struck_with_the_impression_of_a_penny http://www.cointalk.com/t6998/
Looks like it's PMD for only one reason: Roosevelt's hair. It is too worn for a 1998 dime. I see nearly gone hair from the 60s and the 70s normally, but (you never know) I haven't seen a dime that bad from only 12 years ago
It is definitely a genuine double struck piece. You can tell be both designs being raised and not flipped backwards. Congrats on the find! :thumb:
The reason that the hair looks like that is because of the cent design being pressed over it and destroying the Roosevelt design.
That is a genuine 11 cent piece - a struck 1998-P dime that ended up being struck by 1998 (P) cent dies. That is a cool piece.
Lets see if is a WAM....................sorry, this is not a winner (except that this is a genuine error)
Nice example of a struck cent on a struck dime. I'm jealous. If you decide to move it to maximize your value it would be wise to certify it depending upon what venue you would put it on.
Nice coin. You could email pics to Heritage Auctions and see what kind of estimate of value they give you. Having it certified sounds like a good idea as well. Congrats!
