Sorry guys, I'm a curious creature...could someone explain how the date looks shifted on this dime? I know the picture quality isn't the best, but I see what looks like a shift of the date? How does this occur? Thanks again guys!
Hi, Rachael! Yes, it is a little blurry. I noticed all of those striations pointing southeast through the field. Those are indicative of die erosion. Perhaps that is the cause. Chris
Rachael- Check out this thread. I posted a few of those 2015-P's as well. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/new-errors-found-on-2015-reverse-proof-dimes.264954/#post-2305410
Ain't the best but it serves well enough here. Dies age in more than one way. Metal doesn't just wear away - it migrates under the repeated 150-ton hammer blows of striking. This can manifest itself in what sometimes looks very much like doubling on the coin.
Thank you guys so much!!!! I've learned more from two question to you guys than searching websites these last few weeks!
