1989 P Dime raised areas at forehead

I don't want to "see" things so, I will just say raised areas in between the forehead and Liberty. Are these areas just gouges?

After all your photos I'm going to ask if you can do a few of the reverse. If I look at it long enough it appears to be an R in there, which might mean a die clash from the reverse (plu"R"ibus). Or could just be late stage die deterioration.

 

I thought Clash also.. but the only part of the Reverse that would Clash in front of his forehead would be the letters Ep.. The r is to far in to be clashed

 

I see a pig walking down FDR's brow (next to last photo).

I also see the striations of die deterioration.

Mushroom season in Florida? He, he....

 

Looks like a broken/gouged die missing a flake of metal,unfortunately they probably ran off quite a few of them before the die was changed out.They really crank up the output on these presses at times.....

 

Die erosion pits ("blebs"). A manifestation of die deterioration.

 

I dont have my coin with me now. I have I bekieve an 89' with a counter clash. I will try to post a pic if I can find it. It shows most of the reverse.

 

Go with Mike Diamond, he really knows best.

 

i am trying to find my couterclash, until I find it I would have to say what he said. ^^^^
