Went and got a box of 2016 d cents and a box or 2016 p dimes . has any one found anything in these yet this year . 45
When I have gotten them I will take them to banks that don't order coin so they have newbs and I get their oldies.
Minor die cracks on the shield cents as usual but be on the lookout for some nice die clashes on the reverse of the 2016P dimes. I have found several this year as well as last year.
Okay, I just looked closer at the photo and they are nickels. I was going by your description which said dimes. Look for a smaller die clash on the reverse of the nickels in the left bay, found a couple of those also. Minor, but collectible if you like them.
Yeah, sort of like in the Pink Floyd song "Young Lust" instead of a dirty woman, you want a dirty dime.
I don't have a pic of my own handy but a die clash will appear as an element of one side or the other of any given coin transferred to the opposite side of the coin. They can be substantial or very minor. In the case of a recent nickel, for example, you would see Jefferson's portrait, or part of it on the reverse side of the coin. Or Monticello or parts of it transferred to the obverse. For some reason I can not pull up any online photos at the moment.
