Haven't seen this one yet.

 

Came in an email update.

 

I have a reverse proof dime with a different error that looks like a hole in Roosevelt's nose. What should I do? What is the first step in registering it?

 

Not a reversed proof but a 2015 P dime. Hard getting the light right.

Is this common?

 

Very common. It's not hub doubling. It's faux doubling caused by a vlds, highly worn out, die. Still looks cool though don't it. I'd keep it as an example you can use for reference

 

Thanks very much! So I sit here just as a novice/hobbyist not a major dealer, investor or player. Just trying to learn all the acronyms I see in these threads, is a full time job. I have a glossary of numismatic terms I keep referring back to.

Thanks again for your feedback.

 

I just found this example link of your VLDS acronym.

Sorry,
LDS= Late Die State
VLDS = Very Late Die State (almost to the point of failure)

These are terms used when describing a die that is over the hump of its strike life. See those lines that seem to radiate from the center out to the rim. Those are called flow lines which are caused by the slight pushing of metal outward. These flow lines are the first sign of a coin struck on a LDS and beyond die

 

Got it. Great explanation, thanks!
