Must of found it in the desert .. Lol ....

 

Haha I am in Arizona so... but why do you say that?

 

The reverse looks like craters in the field, caused from the desert heat ..

 

Those dies should have been retired in 1987.

 

Thats got some really strong striation lines.

 

Haha you think that is damage on the bottom near one in one dime? Or you saying it looks like the desert sand haha

 

I've got another 1988 p dime just like this but it's got the faulse doubled rim.

 

Not as bad on the obverse, but the reverse is crazy

 

@paddyman98 did you see that I have two different examples of heavy die deterioration. You have seen the coin you just liked before.

 

collar clash ..............

 

Nope, misaligned die strike.

 

I set aside a number of coins with die deterioration back in the 80's. Mostly Nickels and Dimes. Also seemed to be a fair number of minor clashes on cents and dimes during that decade. They are still in 2x2's somewhere in a box.

I'll try to find them and see if anything is interesting. I'm not good at coin photography so I'll avoid the criticism and not post mediocre pics

 

I see sand dunes in that. And a water hole. But maybe it's a mirage. And now I'm actually feeling kind of hot. And now that I think of it, thirsty.

I looked quick and didn't see any of the very small reed marks. now that I look longer and closer, I can see them. Thanks for pointing me to that link, Rick. I stand corrected.

 

You are correct too, about the MAD .
It comes automatically, with the collar clash ...

 

They seem to be showing up a lot around here in Tempe Arizona. Idk but I feel like a bag from the 80s recently got open for the first time and these started popping up everywhere. I found two more that I didn't keep but they were in the early stages of the die deterioration. But they all look so nice, almost AU
