So,
you may have seen a few humorous photos of this 2021 dime on the reverse.
When first inspected, under magnification, the letter C was my first thought.
The image sits SW of the left branch's stem and is attached to the inner vein of the stem.
Now,
I found a second one with the same image.
Note the time this is posted. I'm going to take a few min. and glance through my most recent pocket change to see what's going on with this coin.
Ok, you all know I'm a rookie so any suggestions would be helpful. Here are photo's of each strike. If you see a change of any kind speak up . Trying to set each up in the exact position.
Coin A

I'm not a roll searcher, but I can share a recent (as of last Thursday evening) event my cousin shared with me. She & her husband live in the Charlotte, NC area and own a small business. Wednesday, an employee went to pick up some rolls of change at their bank for the business. Among the rolls, he brought back 8 rolls of dimes. When he went to crack a roll open to fill the till, he noticed they didn't sound "right"... didn't look "right". He looked closer... there were mostly silver roosies, a few Mercs and even 3-5 Barbers in each roll. All eight were completely full of silver. The employee went back to the bank to buy more, as he was still in need of clad and wasn't about to parse out silver dimes as change. At the bank he asked about the rolls he'd just purchased a couple of hours before. The teller told him that an older gentleman had been in earlier that morning to cash the dime rolls in -- a total of $9 in dimes. Knowing he still needed @ $8 in clad dimes for change purposes, he bought another $9 dollars in dimes. Yes - he ended up with a total of $9 in silver dimes (and the needed $8 in clad dimes). The darn things still exist in circulation... it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
@CharlotteDude... Wow... What an incredible story.... to find that many rolls of silver dimes at the bank.... I have never had any experience roll hunting that even merits talking about beyond the occasional WLH over many years. Cheers, RickO

Found last night, posted in another thread because this time I needed some confirmation because I sort of couldn't believe it lol!

Congratulations! Looks like you are giving Joey a run for his money!🤣😂
Let's talk about frustrated, rude, lazy coin roll hunters...
This is not ok. I'm just saying. It's obviously someone here in the Denver area.
Clearly this person is not asking the right questions at the Credit Union of Denver...Questions like...hey, are these re-wraps of the coins I brought back last week like I keep doing over and over and over here at this same location? lol!
I'm just saying...There were actually plenty of halves from my search with both these initials and other sharpie marks...No sir, I don't like it. It also just screams that this is someone who's likely just looking for silver and obvious stuff and doesn't check for varieties the way we do here. This person clearly does not care about the people who are looking to fill books and find the hard to find things, etc... I'll be honest it just bothers me.
Coins are Neato!
"If it's a penny for your thoughts and you put in your two cents worth, then someone...somewhere...is making a penny." - Steven Wright

You might try a sleepy little town or a retirement community complete with a Piggly Wiggly. If you find that then definitely go to the service desk.
At any rate it’s time to change it up and try the opposite.
Happy Hunting.

So please clarify this for me. I thought cleaning a coin is taboo so why is it ok to clean a coin with Acetone?
I am asking because I have some circulated W quarters that are really dirty. Can I clean them with Acetone without damaging the coin? Inquiring mind wants to know 😎

No, lol. Don't ever clean any coin! Soaking the coin in acetone is ok. That should remove any marker on a coin? Try not to ever "rub" the coin in any way. If you want to risk it. I don't advise this, but I once in a great while, to try to remove a fingerprint or haze. I'll take a Q-tip and dilute ezest with water. Roll, roll not rub, the coin very gently over the print/haze area only. Remember, I don't advise it! This is what I do occasionally. Good Luck.

It's more in line with the concept of restoration rather than cleaning.
There are lots of techniques that can be used to remove 'gunk' on a coin. Especially biological gunk.
Just like our host here PCGS has a conservation service and they use some of these restoration techniques.
The key thing like Joey said is that you don't clean stuff off with abrasion or rubbing. We sometimes will use chemicals (that you have to be very careful with as they tend to be flammable and brain scrambling if you don't use them in a well ventilated place or outside)...acetone is one of them...not nail polish remover! Pure acetone from a hardware store will basically dissolve a lot of things off of a coin without messing up the surface or affecting the actual metal. Sometimes soaking the coin in acetone will really do a lot but sometimes you leave behind a different color surface because it's been covered for years.
The other one he mentioned is a metal cleaner called E-Z-est. It's powerful and can quickly damage the surface of the coin because it actually does 'eat' away at it. Some of us use that mostly on ugly silver toning but it works VERY fast and so I personally dilute it with distilled water...then we rinse the coin thoroughly under running water and set it on a soft towel to completely dry. I like to hold the coin tight by the edges and use canned air after swishing it in distilled water as a last step although after acetone the coin doesn't need a rinse and that can also re-introduce some moisture to the coin.
If you search threads for coin cleaning and conservation you'll find some of this info and how various people like to do it.
The concept of restoration is to restore the coin's original surface as much as possible, rather than clean it and create a new surface.

Thanks! The experts all quickly agreed it was a really nice struck through in my other thread...I figured it was a real one based on no movement or curling of the metal around the edges which a large gouge would've caused.
