Moxie15 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I have to say the dime is post mint as I cannot see how that would happen during striking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Charriere Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I am going to defer decision until I've examined the MRI results. RonnieR131 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 2 identical dimes can be found, then there's a real discovery. One coin is merely damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods020 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) It almost looks like a grease/debris plug from a letter on the die dislodged and was struck through. I’m 100% speculating and in no way saying that’s what it is. But it is interesting. Especially if it wasn’t done by someone in the garage with a punch or from being compressed against another coin either accidentally or in a vise.

I had that same thought, until I looked at the full coin picture. It is too small to be the "O" in "GOD," or part of one of the numerals. It does not look to be raised or incuse, but looks like it is part of the surface. It would be great to see the coin in hand, but, from the picture, it looks like a stain of some sort. Whether it is a "Struck through something tiny" or not may be impossible to determine. Woods020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The letter size is strange if that is what it is. I was debating the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
