Opened a roll of 2023P dimes and so far I have 8 coins all with these marks. Are these mint errors?

    Imo, it appears to be a die crack.

    I have 20 rolls of 2023-P right now that I wasn't going to open, but I'll see if I can find some of these. The future FS-401 discovery coins. :D

    Here's a web site if you want to read up on die crack varieties. Send pictures into them and they will list it if it is unlisted (https://cuds-on-coins.com/attributions-guide-on-what-to-do/) - https://cuds-on-coins.com/

    An error is usually a one off caused by a malfunction in the striking of the planchet.

    Just putting this out there.
    They do have a few 2023 friends. Also (3) 2021 in the exact same spot of the olive branch's stem on the reverse.
    I do know of a few exiting the oak stem also. Dates ? Not to worry, their still here and were photographed if needed.
    Every dime I come across that's the first place I look. You would be surprised at the ratio.

    There are no explicit limits but board members will not be shy about letting you know if you start getting obnoxious.

    As a tip, think about what question you really want to have answered, and make sure you ask that question clearly. For example, at the start of this thread you asked if you found an error. You found a die crack. Die cracks are errors. Therefore, you found an error. My guess is that you're really looking for something else:

    • Are you not sure if that's a die crack?
    • Do you not know the characteristics of die cracks in general?
    • Do you not know how to identify errors in general?
    • Do you not know that die cracks are errors?
    • Do you think that errors such as die cracks are notable?
    • Do you think that errors such as die cracks are valuable?

    The folks on this board are very willing to help people learn. Better questions get better answers. A long series of "How about this?" posts is not going to make anyone happy if you're not learning from the answers you receive.

    Now check the reverse very carefully for something like this.

    Get a catchy name for them to be slabbed under and maybe make big money.

    The "Scabies and Lice Variety" sounds quite appealing. :)

    Die chips, cracks, breaks, etc are a subset of errors and are known as die errors as opposed to the subset known as striking or minting errors. There are other subsets such as planchet errors, off-metal errors, etc but all are indeed errors. The die chips shown here are quite small so would not command a premium, but bigger ones often do command a small premium for specialty collectors.

    This is the plate coin in Coin Facts which also has something going on above the eye.

    Here is a close up of yours. The puffier (under the) eyes just a product of a better strike imo.

  • I really appreciate all the responses and actual, helpful answers. I've tried several of these groups over the past few years and found most to be just low rent hang outs for trolls and jackasses. A post such as this one would have netted nothing but snarky and useless replies. So again, thanks to you all.

  • erwindocerwindoc Posts: 5,112 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That area on Roosies is very common for die breaks and chips. Not much of a premium. I have found many myself. Keep the best examples for your collection and send the rest back!

    I don't think that he deleted it. I believe that he changed his username to a symbol that the system doesn't recognize.

    He did that first and made his profile private, but if you look at @2lr it now says "User Not Found".

    That's what I mean. I'll bet that the system doesn't recognize periods, and thus it doesn't recognize that there is a profile.

    But when he first changed hus name it said "User profile us private"...

    But who knows. He certainly found a way to mess with the forum's software.
