[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3450336, member: 78298"]Errors are rare mistakes that happen at the mint. Your coin is damaged on the obverse. That circular mark could be from a coin rolling machine. That green crud on the reverse could prob be removed with acetone, or soap and water. You can freely spend this dime, it's worth 10 cents. There is a very slight mis aligned die strike (notice the double rim from 3- 8 o'clock on the obverse) but it really doesn't increase the value unless it is more dramatic. That is technically an error, but it is common and there's no added value. The part of the T that is missing could be from wear, or a weak strike, or a grease/debris filled die where that part was obscured by grease. When you have a lot of letters missing, that type of error is more desirable.[/QUOTE]
