From improved photos I've been sent, it appears that we're only dealing with letter elongation and an extension of those letters onto the design...
There are 4-5 shattered obverse (anvil) dies known among 2007-P dimes. Each incorporates a 50% retained cud. This is one of them.
The damage may be from the feeder finger. Sometimes it takes the form of die dents, sometimes die scrapes, and sometimes a bit of both. The...
It would be subsumed under the general heading of "die wear", "die deterioration", or "die deterioration doubling".
No, I haven't written an article on this topic.
Very interesting. Would you mind sending it to me for study, photography, and a possible column in Coin World? You coin might show a rare form...
Another question. Are the letters elongated and do they climb onto the design rim? That's what seems to be the case in your photo.
It's the 1924-D cent.
The bump in the middle would indicate the the obverse was machined off.
It's die damage of some sort. This particular form of die damage can be found in coins from the teens through 1945. The best-known specimen is a...
It looks rather interesting. Can you post a photo of the obverse? Is the coin's diameter the same as a normal cent?
Yes, it's some kind of die error.
This is not a worn die. This is an example of machine doubling (slide doubling subtype). The obverse die struck the planchet and slid sideways...
My comments are purely speculative and based only on an examination of the microscopic features of the starburst rays. I could be way off base.
"Starburst" is not a product of die fatigue. It occurs on early die state specimens and the radial lines do not resemble the radial flow lines...
It's clearly post-strike damage. The pressure ridge is a dead giveaway.
It's a minor misaligned die with collar clash. There is also slight finning of the rim on both faces.
The shattered die dime is worth about $150. Your quarter, which appears to be missing the reverse clad layer, would be worth $200 or so. As for...
That much I understand. I don't know if your story has any evidence to back it up, as I haven't paid puch attention to satin finishes allegedly...
It's a well-known shattered die that incorporates a 50% retained cud. A dramatic and desirable error.
