Most struck in burrs are "rim burrs". These are produced during or after upset, often just before the coin is struck. They generally take the...
A saddle strike doesn't always show the iconic "hump" or "saddle" which is why the name is somewhat of a misnomer. I prefer the name "tandem...
The coin was struck in a dual or quad press. Such a press features closely spaced die pairs. A planchet can straddle the gap between the two...
It would be more accurately referred to as a blanking burr. It's a metal burr produced by a dull blanking die or a hole in the perforated base...
Neither is a rolling fold. The dime appears to be post-strike damage, with metal from the edge having been relocated onto the design in the form...
It is indeed a saddle strike. The two off-center strikes were delivered simultaneously (in tandem) rather than sequentially. The smaller of the...
It looks authentic. It should weigh 2.28 grams and the copper core should be visible on the edge. Most such errors are struck on blanks, rather...
It's a slightly misaligned die in concert with planchet that was inadequately upset. Combine that with the excessive convexity of the obverse die...
It looks like a stain.
The quarter seems to have a "die erosion" patch. These sometimes develop in late die states. They're called "patches" or "blebs". They're not...
Die gouges, most likely. Typical polishing lines are not so prominent, isolated, or uniform in their directionality. Instead they are fine,...
It's large enough to be considered an interior die break. It's not a cud, though. Cuds must meet the rim. It's probably worth around $10.
I doubt you own it because it's a 2007-P dime, not a 2001-D dime. Your photo was ripped off from Fred's site:...
I've seen over half a dozen dimes struck by this shattered die. There are four die stages. There are three other shattered dies among 2007-P...
Shattered obverse die incorporating a 50% retained cud, an interior die break, and lots of die cracks. Rockdude's dime represents an earlier...
There is absolutely no sign of damage to this die.
The die undergoes deformation. The area just inside the die's rim gutter sinks in.
It's a form of die deterioration that's almost exclusively associated with zinc cents.
Here's my problem. Forty coins were 2.627 grams and 9 weighed 2.633 grams. That level of precision -- down to the nearest 1/1000 of a gram --...
Condor101 is correct in all his observations and conclusions. The design in 1978 dimes is very close to the edge of the coin.
