    silentnviolent accumulator--selling--make an offer I can't refuse

    went to the store for a pack of smokes and one of the 'good' clerks were working, says, "Hey, I been waiting for you to show up check out this dime I found... its weird." Well, looks like maybe a broadstruck but I've never held one in hand before and, though it sort of resembles the broadstruck quarter in the Red Book I wonder if there are any indicators I'm missing for a broadstrike? I saw somewhere that the edge may or may not be smooth on reeded-edge broadstrikes... can anyone clarify for me please?

    A broadstruck coin is a coin that was struck outside the collar. You coin has reeding, which means it was struck in the collar so it cannot be broadstruck.

    ok thanks for that. The book didn't make it clear enough for me.

    lol I hook em by showing something real weird or an easily seen doubled die. (I keep at least one 'show' coin in my wallet all the time) If they show interest I just gotta grease the wheels.

    I may not be a pro, but it also looks like you're coin might be a grease filled die thou. ;)

    Nope. Just heavily worn. Dryer coin.

    It's not a dryer coin. But it has been abraded outside the Mint and is not an error.

    Can anyone tell me what my dime is and not the mistakes, other then the lack of no "js" initials under Roosevelt's bust?

    I can tell you that you should create your own threads for your own coins and not piggyback the same coin onto multiple previous threads. It's a pretty tacky way to hijack a thread.
