Brought in the images of obv as close as possible. Well that I can anyway. In his hair and off to the rim, starting with a starburst in his hair. I’m assuming I guess, machine in the minting of the dime being the same image is coming across to the rim. Thanks!
It looks like your coin has received a hard metal moving scrape across the ear, hair and edge . PMD. JMO.
Plain ole' damage with lots of wear and tear from circulation. Why did you believe it was something else? Serious question, as you have come a long way and should be able to easily see the difference between damage and possible errors now.
I know… I know I should know the difference between damage by now. On this one I was thinking machine… not sure. Sorry. I’ll slow down. Thanks my friend!
