Message:: [QUOTE="silv, post: 2182149, member: 47749"]Was looking for varieties on a 1852-P seated dime VF35 from PCGS. The "52" in date has some nice doubling. But on the reverse I saw something weird on the "E" of ON(E). I attached a picture best I could do today. Has anyone ever seen an E like that? Could it be a chunk of "E" metal from another coin that got stuck into the die, or could it be a die pattern where whoever was working on the die made a hand slip on the E? The end of the middle horizontal, isn't terminated normally, so instead of being straight on the end, the lower part of horizontal is rounded past the normal ending and it keeps going making almost a symmetric oblong shape as it follows the same curve around the end of the middle horizontal of E. There are no visible die cracks or cuds on the reverse, which would be the expected given that the "52" is doubled on the obverse. A lively little dime overall. [ATTACH=full]422592[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
