Judging by the description, there are 4 possibilities that I can think of: a) die break b) damage c) scammer d) dirt/crud Vote now! :p
definitely a scratch.
Entry post: 2004 - D broadstruck dime, as I don't have any broadstrikes yet. :) Thank you for doing all these prize drawings!
2009 is an anniversary of Abraham Lincoln, and there are a few varieties of these coins. The colors is something called toning. Can happen...

Are you going to send it in to get attributed? I would. That's a really nice clash! (though, pictures are pretty blurry)
You cant post coins and ask if theres anything on them without looking at them first. You have to know what an RPM is and what a double die is...
How much are these going for? This looks like something I would like to get. Design looks great!
Took me a while, but here I am at 1000 posts. Took over 2 years. So today, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite coins in my collection....
