It doesn't happen only on one side. It's always on both sides. Here:http://www.error-ref.com/broadstrikes/
Looks like it is a minor broadstrike. Compare it to another dime. If it is bigger than a normal dime, even if just a little bit, it is a broadstrike.
No, they didn't clean it. They had no idea it was rare. Like I said, they just let me look through their change. My grandpa is a truck diver, so...
I NEVER expected to find this. My grandparents came over, and offered me their change because they know I collect coins. So, I looked through it...
Fun fact: The 1944 steel cent is actually worth more than a 1943 copper penny.
Maybe a dollar or two. Per coin I mean.
:yack: Fingerprints aren't an error! I'd send it back if I could! Too bad you cant. It is possible to clean it off, but that's probably just as bad.

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I got these as a gift, along with the rest of the proofs for that year. Images from online, but that's probably better because...
Looks genuine to me.
Well, there's obviously something there. I guess your right, it doest look like grease filled die on second look. Didn't see that it was on both...

Lol, and it's only like the 50th coin I've weighed.
I have a 50 new dollars coin from Taiwan that's "holographic." You tilt the reverse (with all the lines) one way, and see the number 50. Tilt it...
Ok, I don't see anything either. But here's how to tell... If the doubling looks flat and squared, then it's worthless doubling called "Machine...
Ive never even found one silver coin metal detecting.
As you all know, many people hoarded toilet paper like there was no tomorrow, and for weeks there was none in store. Now, as silver price is going...
