Barber dime error... Explain me

I'll give my thoughts tomorrow

Had I not seen the reverse, I would say it's a strike through. But, taking everything into consideration, I'm wondering if it's not a retained cud. Let's see what people who know more than me say.

 

It sure looks like something to do with the collar also.

 

When I first was it, my first thought was cud. It reminds me of one of mine. After reading @ToughCOINS post I'm not to sure. Here's one similar you can compare it to.

 

Why would you think it is a retained cud? If it was, wouldn't you expect to see more detail on the obverse?

Squoze?!

 

Ex-jewelry mount, no wait it's a Barber.

Please define.

 

she was his main squoze.

 

It's actually 'squeeze' and the past tense is 'squeezed'.

 

actually:

squished.

 

That seems like a good working theory, for the moment.. I really can't see that one spot failing to wear like the rest of the coin unless it was either a recently-departed lamination or covered for most of the coin's life by something. A lamination peel won't explain the flat spot opposite.

The rim is dented out at that point - maybe an impact caused the lamination to peel? I dunno.

 

Boom. That was my guess. That it took a hit on a lamination halfaway in circulation when it was around low vf or so causing the lam to detach and rim to bow with subsequent wear to the reverse area of the hit causing the patch

 

I think the coin took a hit, causing the one side of the coin to be depressed and wear-protected while the other side was bent out and subjected to excess wear.

 

Don't know about that. A hit that hard would've had to deform the denticles to a great extent. It must have taken a hit where there was a lamination and delaminating it methinks

 

Squoze- the act of squozing something
Squozed - past tense;.
