1964 D Roosevelt Error 90% Silver Dime Reverse Die Break Coin

Hello, I'm new to this forum and I'm also new to coins in general.
Currently I'm learning to roll hunt and I'm trying to stack junk silver.






This image actually belongs to some one who is currently selling this coin online:

I'm posting it because i basically have the exact same coin, except my die break travels more upward toward the center of the 'C'. From my untrained eye, i would say that my coin is within the EF range.

So what numismatic value would you give it?

Also, how is it possible that we could have such similar dimes, if some one could explain please?

The Die Break occurs on the Die itself. The Die is in use striking the blank planchets. As more blanks are struck the bigger the Die Break gets over time. So..your coin could of been struck by the same cracked die before it was discontinued. Dozens, maybe hundreds were struck.

 

Probably the same price as the one you found online. Die breaks such as theirs and yours are common and really don't demand a huge premium. $10.00 is about right taking into account the silver content.

 

I wouldn't think there would be much if any added value for the die crack. Dies are used until they started showing signs of failure and then are replaced, it is not uncommon to find cracks, chips etc.

 

On certain type coins I could see a die crack being added value. On a 64 Dime no. Unless it was something very unique .

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood @HonestScript !

The seller of the other dime is asking $9.99 for the coin. Sure, he can ask for any amount that he wants, but it doesn't mean that he will get it. If you ask me, he is overpriced by about 90%, but that doesn't mean that there aren't bidiots out there who will pay more.
