I have what I believe to be two different Roosevelt dime errors. I'm posting this thread to get some expert feedback in either affirming or disavowing my conclusions as to the nature of these two coins and whether they truly are errors or are instead post mint damage. From my limited understanding of error coins I believe that one is a capped die strike and the other is a partial planchet. Without further ado here they are.. Thanks in advance!
Nope the second one is spooned its basically just someone hitting the edge constantly with a spoon still ten cents,damage.The first one looks like an error.Yes there is a section that you must post for trades what your doing is against the rules.
The left one looks to have some sort of spillage adhering to it, adhesive or varnish etc, and the second looks to have been spooned
Ok thanks, edited OP. Whats the purpose of spooning a coin? Or is it just something a really bored person does on a rainy day??
Yeah, it's most likely someone doing it because they are bored or just felt like it. Also, IMO, the first coin is missing partial clad layer.
I would concur with with @Collecting Nut on the first missing a piece of cladding while the second is just PMD. While it may not work in a machine, the bank will still give you 10¢ for it. Close-ups of the dime with missing clad may lead to more opinions. If it is missing a piece of clad, it would make it an error and worth a bit more than face value, IMHO.
Just something some don't agree with but FYI.. In metal detecting lingo a Rosie is what we call Silver Roosevelt Dimes minted before 1965. Post 1965 then we call them Roosevelts Also.. Here are some clad issue Dimes and Quarters from my collection
