I didn't mean to come off rude - What I meant was that the finish you believe your coin has doesn't exist, and wouldn't be found in circulation,...
Please post photos or scans of both sides of your 93-D Dime, clear and large enough for us to see the surfaces, and I'll be glad to elaborate.
It's not what you think it is.
That's not the Blakesley Effect at 'TR' - it can't be, because the BE is always opposite the clip area. There is a minute disc clip at the TR.
That first photo is a good shot of 'shelf' doubling, or what we call mechanical or ejection doubling. Compare that first photo to a photo of the...
Looks like it's 5% off center; with no reverse photo, we can't see if it might be a mis-aligned obverse die (probably not), but that's one of the...
It's Feeder Finger scraps on the die, which will leave those 'rough' areas you see just behind his neck, in both coins pictured. Don't forget...
Looks like a possible copper-plating 'bubble' to the lower right side of the MM.
Plated, after it was in circulation. Your Dime did not leave the US Mint looking like that - sorry.
I agree with the above post - it's struck from a overused/worn die, imo; a very common effect on tons of cents, dimes, and quarters minted in the...
Those ANACS State Quarters with the 'smooth edge' wording were done for a marketing company who wanted to sell them like the "Missing Edge...
On the edge photos, notice how the copper core is NOT dead-center - on a clip like this, the copper core/band is always closer to the obv. or...
The 1864 Two Cent piece is the most common US coin with a Rotated Reverse - by a wide margin. In that condition,90 degrees, I'd guess it's worth...
That's a tough DD to find in circulation, even 40-50 years ago! So refreshing to see a Genuine Doubled Die coin illustrated.....Congrats, and Thanks
Looks like a scratch. See that there is no 'crack line' to the immediate left of the "R" of Trust, and the line seems to go over the R also....
They're all damaged/chemically treated, except the 1991-D Quarter. Can't tell if the MM has been damaged/flattened, but that's probably what it is...
Lamination flake, not a cud die break
I see the copper on the edge, at the reeding. I've seen it before, and it might be that the blank, and/or then as a planchet, had some of the...
No offense to the OP, and I realize the OP is a new member here, but I have to say, with no disrespect (because we all have to start someplace)...
I see 'shelf' doubling, and no separation of the serifs or any letters, so it's MD...
Separate names with a comma.
