I just looked back at my sealed 1996 W dime and it has a die clash where the reverse is visible on the obverse and the obverse is visible on the reverse! Just found it in my collection literally 5 minutes ago. Does anyone know anything about these? Is this the first find? Is it worth anything? Ill post pictures when i get back home tomorrow but just wanted to share this with my coin collecting family haha
Don't feel bad. I've found things in my collection I didn't know I had either. One of my greatest fears, having something rare or significant in my collect and not know it!
Yes please.. I have never created a thread without first having enough pictures to show what I have. That's the most important part of the thread. Clashes seem to be very commom on Dimes. Now if you can proove that it is definitely on a W Minted dime it would be interesting.
Photos are uploaded and yes i never do a thread with no images but at the last second last night during writing my post my camera wouldn't work
I kmow right! I was just looking at it because the 1996 W is one if my favorites and realized with my loop its a die clash and got very excited because i thought W errors are pretty rare but wasn't 100% sure
Thanks! And yeah i thought it was damaged or scratches on the cello but i pulled out my loop for a closer look and nope its definitely an error.
That is brilliant! Outstanding find! Congrats!! On a side note: Man, I hope you're not a smoker! We want you to be with us as long as you can. Besides, cigarette smoke and coins don't mix!
You know i actually am almost off the cigarettes completely! Down to 2 cigarettes a day, one in the morning and one at night. I have a 5 year old son and plan on being in his life as long as i can so thank you i appreciate it lol
Thanks everyone i figured it was a die clash but its nice to have other opinions. Crazy ive had it this whole time and didnt even know lol
I bought 10 mint sets in 1996, just to get the extra dime. I'll have to check. Maybe I got lucky and some of them are clashed. Thanks for sharing.
