Found Coin in Bag of silver

I recently bought a bag of junk silver coins and going through them I found this odd 1964 silver dime I have seen several errors before but nothing like this, I believe this is a stuck thru wire bristle but multiple bristles there are wire indents but raise lines through out the entire obv

It's just damage. They are cuts in the coin. That will cause the raised and recessed lines you see.

 

thanks for the input, all the lines are appx the same exact size I thought someone just scratched the coin myself after carefull obvesrvation with a 30x loupe there is a big difference, if you look closely it would take a skilled hand to raise a straight line underneath the 6 ,9, and upper ear, but you never know, there is a coin show this wed and a PCGS dealer there maybe he can check it out , thanks

 

Look again. The lines go over everything and get worn down at the high points. It's clear to see in the images.

 

I could be wrong at what I see but I will still have it checked out and update the results thanks again

 

The other gentleman is, without the slightest doubt, correct. One can, in a couple of your photos, clearly see the "cuts" which resulted in the raised metal you're seeing.

You're certainly within your rights to search out an in-person dealer, or even submit the coin if you so choose, but you would, unfortunately, be wasting your money.

Welcome to the forum, sir.

 

Yup, someone took a box cutter to it. Still silver though

 

thanks, I will have it looked at 1st as to not waste my money, thanks for the welcome

 

Cool. Sure have it looked at but, since you're new, you should know that there is more knowledge here than 99% of all dealers. Just sayin. Have it looked at though. An in hand inspection is always best and I'm sure even the worst of b&m dealers can tell that's pmd.

Btw, what looks like raised lines is just metal displacement from the knife. See how there are 2 parallel raised lines on the sides of each incuse line? The incuse lines are the knife marks and the raised lines are the displacement

 

I do believe your all right I took out my pen knife and a new dime and the marks made to the coin where very similar thanks all

 

2 other strange pieces in the same bag of coins 1 is a 1906 V nickel and what appears to be a 4 under the six and a 63 dime with something on the rev of the coin?

 

The dime reverse looks like damage, but I don't know what to think about the V-nickel. I agree that it looks like a 4 under the 6, but an overdate has never been reported, and something that obvious probably wouldn't have been overlooked all this time.

 

I did some research to check the overdate and found nothing if I could get a perfect closeup of the open part of the 6 you can see a straight line that looks to be a 4 under the 6 all new to me , thanks for the reply

 

A normal 6 to compare with.

 

I pulled out a 1904 v nickel to get a comparison and the top of the 4 the point and the straight line position of the 4 lines up perfectly with this coin still haven't got a clue.

 

That sure looks like an overdate. Not my series tho

 

what do you do with a coin that has an unknown missed error

 

The V nickel is interesting but you would think an overdate would have been discovered by now. Can we see the whole coin?

 

here are a couple pics after reading I guess it is possible that overdates can be overlooked and unknown till discovered like the 1914/3 buffalo nickel that was found in 1996

 

You have a corroded coin in rather rough shape displaying an anomaly that somewhat resembles an underlying 4. Unfortunately, the chances of it being an over date, as opposed to some sort of damage or the like, are slim to none.
