    I have this dime that has a few errors. One is that the dime has a slash on the face obv and around the head of the coin is something that looks like mushroom gills. Has anybody heard of this coin before? i cant seem to find any information about this coin anywhere else. here are some pix:

    Forgive me for saying this, but I don't think either of those are mint made errors. Even if they were actual errors, they are not the type of errors that will make a coin valuable. Honestly both conditions detract from the eye appeal of a coin that is 1 year old and will never be rare.

    Did you create the term mushroom gills as it relates to coins, I have never heard it used before. I like it!

    The corrosion looks like mushroom gills so i decided to call it mushroom gills.

    I agree, not a Mint error at all - PMD.

    No Errors, Post mint damage and the fact that the coin was struck by worn dies (very common) are the culprits on this coin.

    Thanks,
