    I recently bought a bag of "little" coins. Most of them were love coins, you know, the ones ruin in the back with someone's name engraved.

    However, in this bag, there were a few old coins in good to extra-fine condition. Among them was this 1912-S Barber Dime. Once I checked it under the microscope I found what appears to have in front of her lips die chips, very little die chips. As anyone seen this before?

    Thanks in advanced!

    Interesting. Never seen this on a coin of this type before. But don't poo poo love tokens/coins as some can be very valuable to the right people.

    Looks like they might be die chips,
    unless the metal has been 'pushed'
    around...hard to tell from the photos;

    I see some surface marks in the right
    obv. field (first photo on the left in the post)
