<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Dore, post: 3161785, member: 96515"]I came across this mercury dime going through a friend's collection the other day. Here is what I *think* I know so far: There is rim cud on the reverse covering the TES of STATES caused by a major die break. I was searching around trying to learn what I could of this error, and from what I could find this seems like a legitimate die break to me. I was very excited to find a picture of a mercury dime online that seems to be an almost perfect match to this one. <a href="http://cuds-on-coins.com/winged-liberty-dime-cuds/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cuds-on-coins.com/winged-liberty-dime-cuds/" rel="nofollow">http://cuds-on-coins.com/winged-liberty-dime-cuds/</a> I've tried to learn as much as I could before asking here, but I still have a few questions:</p><p><br /></p><p>First question is, have I diagnosed this coin correctly?
