Joe, that dime is chemically treated, aka: acid treated
The one at 3:00 looks good, but I don't think the one at 6:00 is. (I see the metal flow from the rim toward the void, mostly on the rev. side)...
The 'hits' in the field and on his face are the same - contract marks, probably from being in a Ballistic Bag of 400,000 cents.
Not a genuine clip, sorry
I can only offer my opinion based on the photos.
Look at the 5th photo - the same 'roughness' at the top is below, just above the center of the coin. It's not a planchet deflect or...
They're all plated -
It's damaged. The first photo shows a 'sandwhich' - another coin was pressed into your coin. No die clashing, no error - everything you see on...
Photos aren't the best, but I think the area you're talking about is just damage, and has nothing to do with the minting process. The very last...
It's not a die chip. The surfaces look cleaned or wiped, and the 'stuff' to the left of the L could be a small occluded gas bubble...
Badly damaged
Actually, it looks genuine, from the two photos, and the weight you gave. Wow! Spectacular Hope you submit it to PCGS so I get to see it...
No, those errors got out thru the normal channels - in mint sewn bags. Now they use Ballistic Bags, which contain 400,000 cents, as an example....
....that's a classic 'mushroom' look on a coin. Can be found on cents, nickels, and dimes. Quarters & Halves exist, but are rare like this, imo.
Love those sets ! ....especially the D/S denomination set!
I see what 'might' be a die chip in "God", and a die chip in the 'B' of Liberty. These are very common, minor die chips, and carry no premium to...
As mentioned, it's the copper plating splitting off the raised digits from the striking pressure. Not an error, more of an anomaly -
That last cent photo shows damage
Still not an error....sorry
As mentioned, a nice, but small die chip. Good eyes to spot it......!
