<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 2594128, member: 73224&quot;]I find more dimes with these type of anomalies than any other denomination.&nbsp; I think it is because of the small diameter dies and planchets.&nbsp; Not enough die metal to absorb the constant pounding of making coins.&nbsp; With the dime, the design leaves very little field.&nbsp; The reverse of the dime almost does away with the field.&nbsp; That leaves very little flat area on the face of the dime.&nbsp; There really shouldn&#039;t be any reason why the mint would have to use a die right up to total failure or beyond its useful life.&nbsp; Not like they are hand making dies these days.&nbsp; Dies should be relatively cheap to make and plentiful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cool find. I would keep it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
