<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wildbill, post: 1167282, member: 30699&quot;]I&#039;ve always had a huge fascination with error coins, yet I&#039;m no expert either. I&#039;m just now catching up on the various error names, as well as the proper names of a coin&#039;s parts. By all means, please correct me if I&#039;m wrong... does a coin struck w/a dirty die fall under &quot;lamination&quot; in the realm of coin errors or are they two separate error categories? Also, I was wrong regarding the &quot;reed&quot; issue (the reed is fine) I should have said &quot;Rim&quot; issue.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So... </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1) If the Dime has an acid/chemical issue on both sides... wouldn&#039;t the image(s) touched by the acid be equally effected?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2) The rim actually has a &quot;pancake&quot; effect on the obverse and reverse ... with each side having a very consistent overhang/lip you can feel with a fingernail. The overhang/pancake rim(s) are identical on the reverse and obverse making for a channel effect between both the reverse and obverse. (The reed is normal and not damage between the overhanging edges from both the obverse &amp; reverse). The dime itself shows no image distortion or damage from being squashed/stretched as if it had been hit w/hammer, etc.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Years ago I found a website which described a similar &quot;overhanging&quot; rim(s) error in great detail but am having trouble locating the site. I&#039;ll try to post another photo of the rim using a camera vs a scanner soon as I can figure out how to get a good, detailed close-up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
