Errorists Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Found this 1997P dime spectacular specimen about 50% off center with a nice bonus die crack on the chin. Field and devices look very high grade MS-69 or 70? rrantique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Field and devices look very high grade MS-69 or 70? There isn't a single FDR dime in 69 or 70, at least with this date or prior, not at NGC or PCGS.

Henri Charriere Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I believe errors of this kind must be held to a different standard. To begin with the silhouettes of the coin, obverse and reverse sides, to not match. Since when do we examine "coins" lacking essential elements? Any reeding and edges are gone. Devices and legends are missing. And yet we expect a less-than-perfect decapitation to be to be graded whilst lacking the most basic elements. Specifications? There aren't any. This is an "error," to which standard grading criteria should not apply. If the OP wishes to keep it, fine. If he wishes to sell it, market demand will determine its FMV. rrantique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically the field and devices are graded since that's all there is to grade with such fine specimens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your error coins I agree they are very clean but what I think it is with the third party graders MS grade 69 and 70 are reserved for a perfect coin and in Jefferson's and Roosevelt's it is a rarity. I think with a error coin you may see a 65 or 66 but anything higher would be a great achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
