    I received this dime the other day in change. I have to admit when I got it in hand I looked at it and was thinking wow! what a nice strike, well centered, squared sharp rims. I put it aside and when I got home from work I started to examine it. Wow again with the naked eye again it looked pretty nice but wait till you see what the scope found. 2016 dime 1.jpg 2016 dime 2.jpg 2016 dime 3.jpg 2016 dime 4.jpg 2016 dime 5.jpg
    at first I noticed a die crack at the base of the torch, see following images then going over the entire coin I was amazed at the amount of die cracks found on this specimen.

    I got one that has the same crack on the torch. It runs north and touches the U. Also has great eye appeal.
