<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 3546058, member: 84179&quot;]There are numerous errors that can occur on any coin.&nbsp; Most are fun to find but it’s unusual for anything to be worth more than face value.&nbsp; Take some time and review the numerous types of varieties and errors on:</p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, your coin suffered a lot of circulation damage.&nbsp; It appears that your dime was also struck from a worn reverse die, which is the likely reason E PLURIBUS is weak.&nbsp; Everything else is either normal wear and tear, or due to the circulation damage. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, take a look at <a href="http://www.doubleddie.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.doubleddie.com/" rel="nofollow">www.doubleddie.com</a> and look at the section called Worthless Doubling.&nbsp; It explains how to tell true doubling from Mechanical and Die deterioration doubling.&nbsp; The last two are not considered errors and have no collector value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, avoid youtube.&nbsp; While there are a few good sites, most of the “Find a fortune in change” are click bait.&nbsp; They are loaded with inaccurate/misleading information and don’t tell you the whole story on how to distinguish the truly rare from the common circulation finds.&nbsp; There are many members on CT that have been studying the minting process and collecting errors/varieties for decades.&nbsp; If you get a consensus of opinions on here, then there is a high probability that it’s correct[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
