<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2464875, member: 27832"]Exactly. There are some rare examples where dime was accidentally struck <i>at the Mint</i> with a cent die; those are valuable. On those coins, though, the cent design doesn't show up mirror-reversed like it does here, and since the striking takes place on both sides, both sides show the overstrike. On yours, the reverse is flat, either because it was squeezed flat in the vise or because they did something else to it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
