    Hi! I found this Roosevelt dime in my collection. There is a missing letter on the reverse in the word "UNUM". I'm looking to sell it eventually. Is there any collector value or demand for this type of error? Thank you! IMG_20260513_221904.jpg IMG_20260513_221917.jpg

    By the way, forgot to add in the post itself: 1970 Denver one dime coin error. What do you think about this? Let me know in the comments, thanks!"

    If you’re referring to the first U in UMUN it’s on the left side of the olive branch.

    What you are missing in your poll is..

    There is no interest at all in the issue.

    No premium for that issue at all unfortunately o_O
    Meaning no collector value nor demand.

    When a coin is missing a letter or number, usually what has happened,
    at the mint they use grease (to clean?) the dies. And sometimes grease is left in there and after striking x number of coins the grease is gone.
    Well when the coin is struck through grease a letter or number can be blocked by the grease and not appear on the coin. This is a common error.
    For this error to be worth anything, the larger and more severe the better.
    I have a 2004 nickel and the entire lettering around the rim is missing.

    @Collecting Nut How about that I never noticed the U being on the other side.
    Plus I never collected them, but I find find out the the N scale tracks work well when taking an image of the dime.:D Screenshot (4786).png
    By the way thats a 2013 P I found in my change.

    The missing letter is the last U of PLURIBUS on the right side of the torch. It appears to be a STG, or struck through grease, a very common clogging of die letters during production. This is a very minor example and because it is so common, does not generate very much interest.
