[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 4295052, member: 20480"]I believe that this is a genuine error. I believe it was not cut, but is misshapen to one side because the bottom (dated area) of the dime was very close to the quarter collar, leaving most of the other side of the coin unconstrained, and able to expand as both the Washington design and the local hardening of the Roosevelt features permitted. Much of Roosevelt's portrait was reflowed because of the depth of the portrait and eagle recesses in the Washington dies, yet other areas of the dime did not reflow as much because they aligned with the flat fields and shallow letters of the quarter where there was less demand for filling of voids in the dies.[/QUOTE]
