Hey guys as you know I've only been at this less than a year. But now my 10 year old grandson is getting into coin collecting. I am trying to give him some pointers that I have learned from you guys and your wealth of information. He came to me last evening and he had a about 150 coins pennies nickels dimes. He said he had them in his room and was going to start collecting them it didnt matter what they were to him. He thought all coins were collectable. I sat down and explained a few things as what to look for he seemed like he really wanted to learn. So I told him we would do it together. Thanks for all you help and maybe we can learn more together. Sorry for such a long post. Here is one he asked about and I told him I'd have to get more opinions. It's a 1999 P dime that the last 2 9s are faded out. I told him it could be wear or it could be an over polished die, or grease filled. But I would get a professional opinion Thanks guys.
Just struck through grease. Incused numerals on the Die striking the blank planchet became compacted and they did not form properly.
