    Help these old eyes out, please. Need a focused pic. Cropped would be nice. I see an out of focus something.

    It appears as though the last digit of the date is missing. I don't have any experience with modern releases, but there are several forum members who are. Any chance you can take a close up picture of just the date?

    That would be interesting to see clearly. :)

    So in advance of a clearer pic. Grease filled the die where the number of the date is located.

    The pictures are very blurry... I do see a missing digit, and that would indicate a grease filled die...since the date cannot be determined, it would have little to no numismatic value. Cheers, RickO

    Even when cropped, the photos are bad.

    The game isn't worth the candle.

    Grease filled die, fairly common. Personally I don't think I'd keep it.

    If clearer pics show that the missing numbers are caused by a grease filled die I wouldn't spend it.
    For 10c I'd keep it as an example of a grease filled die I found in circulation.
    Just me.

    Pretty old, 200 and Damascus mint?

    Actually the grease filled die appears to be the correct information.

  • Does this dime carry any type of value?

    At least 10 cents... but to someone who collects these type of coins it would be based upon what they are willing to spend. Search the sold auctions on the bay. Shipping charges would probably cost more.

    I would keep it as a conversation piece. Not many people have a coin from the year 200 ;)

    Very common, minor filled die.

    As mentioned, only worth keeping as

    So it could be a weak strike, worn die, slightly off centered away from that digit, if you're looking for errors, this is a minor one, put it in a 2x2, note it and time to start an error binder. The hunt continues. Peace Roy
