Wait, what's going on with my 1946 P Roosevelt Dime?

    Just looking at a nice PDS Roosevelt Dime set I have, and I noticed something strange at the back of FDR's neck - now, help me out (I'm really tired and can't decide if it's a cud or die chip or something else) and tell me what classification of mint error this would be:

    EDIT: Just noticed the 1946 D is the D/D RPM-007 North. What a fun little set.

    Since a cud should involve the rim, looks like a nice little die chip...Pony-Tail Roosevelt?

    Good morning and thanks guys. I felt it would be a die chip but for some reason my brain kept telling me not to get too confident.

    Anyone seen one in this location before? I think it's pretty interesting, and the coin itself was worth keeping even without it due to condition/color.

    I'm sorry. I attached it first. It is just above on #6.

    Yep, that's the same spot (yours actually looks more like hair, though) - thanks for sharing :)

    I think they are related. Perhaps yours is an earlier die crack and mine is a later stage. I've been holding that coin since about 1950 waiting to see if another came up. Thank you for posting it.

    I think that's the porthole where the Keebler Elves lived back in the 1940's (before they upgraded to that tree/factory after receiving a New Deal job creation grant.) Haha

    NOTE: I'm not endorsing/not endorsing any political aspect of the joke and don't wish to offend anyone by my choice of the rational explanation/justification backstory for the absurd part of the joke.
