Can you take better pictures of the 1950?
The ones I have seen before have had some type of acid used.
The 1943D is steel. Nothing out of the ordinary. The 1950 I can't really make out since I can't enlarge your pictures. It isn't melted though....
Do you have a digital camera or a camera on your phone?
Opposed to paper money and there he is on the $20 bill. :):):):)
I just looked through the ones I picked up yesterday from the Mint's change machine at the Baltimore coin show and none of them, P's or D's, had that.
So where is the obverse picture?
That looks like a counter stamp vice a carving.
Looks like die polishing. Perhaps there was a clash there at one point. I don't see one now. Lathe lines would be circular.
Looks like the clad layer on the dime bubbled out. Probably from heat.
Face Value IMO

100%. I'd bet my reputation (what little i have here lol) that it isn't a broad strike
Yup. Altered.
Not even close to a broad strike.
Doesn't look like an RPM to me.
But it wasn't produced that year. At least not according to anything I have. Maybe an 1888 that was made into an 1885?
That's what I was thinking too...
I didn't think they made them that year...
I definitely don't see that on your coin Rick
