Looking through some older dimes, I came across this 1953. Seems like Teddy's sporting a handlebar mustache. Any thoughts? Sorry, the photo's the best I can get out of my pocket sized Olympus.
Great place for a die break. Your images are fine but if you crop out all background they would be even better
What you have is a Die Chip on the mouth. Here is an example from my collection. Same year. @SamCoin Is this what would be called a Die Event also? BTW.. I know who Coop is I really like his illustrations.
