<p>[QUOTE="dcinffxva, post: 787374, member: 22721"]Hello all, I'm new here, and this is my first post, so I hope it works OK. I found this while going through some dimes, and wanted opinions on if it is a strike error. It looks like there was an extra chip of metal on the planchet, which was then stamped into the coin. The other possibility is that there was something soldered to it at some point, but the defect shows the same tone as the rest of the coin, and there is no evidence of heat being applied. I would think if it was solder, the metal would be a slightly different shade, since lead and silver age differently. Thanks for the opinions.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e387/vawildpig/Coins/IMG_6097.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e387/vawildpig/Coins/IMG_6098a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
