    Looks like someone was experimenting with the metal shaver in shop class

    This 1950-S Roosevelt dime was rescued from a junk box.

    This isn't exactly a new *acquisition*-- more like a new discovery. The other day I was going through a roll of Roosevelt dimes that I had bought back in 1990, and came across this 1949-S. I have no idea how it had slipped under the radar all these years.

    I know for sure its not a washer coin, their real thick ! Any help on this error would be helpful, this could be a Ken Potter coin to look at ! I'll have to take some close-ups with the dino-scope, to look for markers for this error, I know the motto ( in god we trust ) is doubled, and lincoln head and neck looks weird too, Here's a new photo of the reverse, looks like a bottle cap stamping to me A047 - 20130525_152251 (2).jpg

    It sure looks cool, Rick, but I'm fairly certain it is a damaged cent.

    This 1816 Ein Kreuzer is EF-48-Au50 over all.
    but there a odd set of die cracks+Blocked letter/Die filled @ 4 o'clock.
    I looked everywhere to see if there notation about the Obverse marks.There No way it could be PMD.

    Here are my latest acquisitions for my type set. I'm a new collector (again), and just posted in the Introductions forum last week: http://www.cointalk.com/t228332/

    1916 Mercury Dime MS65FB. Had my eye on some MS67FB's for around the same price, but I've always wanted a nice first year. Haven't received it yet, and the rub spot has me a little concerned.

    And an MS66 1938D Buffalo Nickel

    Cazkaboom One for all, all for me.

    Well I was hoping to get some better pictures, but the slab is so darned scuffed the camera focuses on those scuffs... I may have to find somebody who will let me piggyback a submission and have it reholdered.
    Anyways, here are my pics.

    Well I've over spent my coin budget with this latest coin. I am going to avoid eBay, David Lawrence Rare Coins, Heritage, and everywhere else I window shop for a few months. Here is the coin, and my parting shot:

    (Sellers pics, coin has not arrived yet)

    I spent my first 12 years or so in York County, Maine. I think the coin is lovely.
