    I wish my picture taking skills were good enough to show what I am seeing on this coin. A 1954-D Roosevelt dime. On the reverse level with the epluribus us unum on the bottom of the torch there is another D in the center bottom of the torch betwen the epluribus and us unum. Any one every heard of this?

    It's possible that it is a Misplaced Mint Mark.

    No..There is also the D mintmark right where it is suppose to be. I will keep trying to take a picture and see if I can show what I mean.

    No problem. I am thinking it is raised a bit..kinda mesh a bit with the lines in the torch.

    The Dropped/Fallen Letter is a relatively scarce error type caused by filled die's . When debris, from a clogged die become compressed within cavities of the die and eventually fall out of the die cavity, like Jello from a mold, it is struck into the field of the coin leaving behind this very interesting incuse letter.

    Now that is cool. Thanks for taking the time for looking at it and the detailed answer.
