<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Spark1951, post: 25369560, member: 90692&quot;]Please read my response to your introductory post.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you are seeing on this dime is circulation wear.&nbsp; The dies were also heavily used, they strike approx. 1 million coins then retire the die and use a fresh die pair. In 1984, the Philadelphia Mint struck 856.6 <b>million.&nbsp; </b>This means if they changed die pairs after 1 million coins they ended up using 857 <b>die pairs.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is a spender, unless you are creating a type set and it’s the only one you have.&nbsp; Eventually you may find a better one and replace this one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another tip:&nbsp; Get a Yeoman Red Book and use it for researching your coins.&nbsp; They can be bought at hobby stores or on line, and for your coin treasure you don’t need a brand new one.&nbsp; Used ones are cheap and can be found online.</p><p>…imo…Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
