Some people might say that it is the result of a grease-filled die, but you will notice that some of the upset rim is worn. Since the planchets pass through the upsetting mill before going to the coining chamber, this doesn&#039;t seem likely.</p><p><br /></p><p>The steel cent was struck in 1943 (only) to conserve copper for the war effort.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dime you have &quot;never seen&quot; is a Winged Liberty Head dime but is most often called a Mercury dime because of the wings on her head. These dimes were struck 1916-1945. This dime was struck in 90% silver, so it is worth saving.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
