1934 Mercury Dime (Butterfly)

It's this one a DDO? Is this, the Eye of a Bison?

Eye of a bison, on my Mercury dime
wait....
no, it's probably just
die deterior-ation

Just my guess on the doubling stuff. The Eye looks like someone was scratching glasses on her or trying to make her look like the Flash or another superhero.

 

There are facts, didn't talk about yet. The wings are nothing else than a forming tool for the empty spot in the middle of the legs of the bison. To the left of the date, appear the bison's knee. And in this last crop, the imppresion of Bison's hair is on the planchet.

 

How does a DDO on a merc have anything to do with a bison? I don't even begin to see where you are getting this.

 

Sure those are two different things; Can a coin have two different errors or only one? The reverse has another different one.

 

huh? I don't understand your question about the bison thing. Facts?

 

Like Colonel Klink said; "I see nothing" Or was that Hans Schultz?

 

How that happen? Did some body else noted that shape on a Mercury Dime? All time see something, I hope some one has another coin with the same error. To be 100 % sure of my finding.

 

Me too Carlos.

 

I saw the bison on the rim it's clear as day

What you probably hsve a clash die and you think you are seeing this it;s the incused images of the obverse

Schultz:
" I know NOTHING!"

And: The reverse: damage, post mint, from a coin holder.
There is another thread about this very (circular) damage.

Obverse: Nothing, just circulation wear.

 

Not that I have ever done it but I have got to get some of that stuff that the OP is smoking!:whistle::whistle:

That is a nice coin you have there, Carlos.

 

oh, I guess that you also (like Bill Clinton) didn't inhale?

 

Lets roll them up guys, who has the paper so we could start seeing monkeys on mecury dimes

I have seen this type in BU but can't call what it was a DDO or DDR. but the butterfly if I recall right was one of the marker to look for. I will check thur some of my Dime error book and try to find what and post it

 

Hi,

Some of you guys are on cloud nine ....The coin is damaged, look at the circular damages on the obverse and reverse, right in the center. The coin has more scratches on it than a dog with fleas. No die doubling, no butterflies

The coin is scrap metal.

Thanks,
Bill

 

Mr. Treshunt, The circular mark on the reverse, from a clash die, is very common in Mercuries Dimes, I have about 5 different years with that error. There's one (1943). And also a 1935.

 

Carlos,

I am sorry about my previous remark! However, what you see on the Reverse of the original coin in the Thread and the 1943 and 1935 that you just posted, is not from Die Clashing. It is damage from a Coin Rolling Machine. These coins being at some time in the past were on the end of a roll of Dimes when the rolls were sealed (crimped) by the machine and that is what caused the damage.
