While playing around with my scope i came across what appears to be letter's on this dime that shouldnt be there.If you look beside the U you can see a *B*.Do you all have any ideal on why the extra letter's would be on here. Thanks

    Welcome to the Boards, Q12.

    I really don't know what that could be. First, I didn't see anything beside the U. But I see what looks like a B under the P in Pluribus. And I don't know how that could have been made. Sorry!

    Q12- I am having a hard time seeing it also. Do you mean the P obove it that looks like a B ? that looks like toning if that's what your talking about. Welcome to the forumn. mike

    that's easy enough to see. I don't know what or how either. It appears to be a bottom part of a "B"

    Wear does funny things to coins. It is simply some sort of wear pattern.

    It looks like e bluribus rather than e pluribus. If you tell us the date & mm we can check our lists for die varities and maybe give you some info.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    Thanks everyone.It's 1941.I asked about the P on another site and was told it's discoloration. I put a square over what appear's to me as letter's.I hope you all can see it now.Thanks again

    it looks to me like that somebody started to make it Bluribus instead of Pluribus. I am not really into errors or varieties however so can't be of much further help

    I don't see anything in your square but I see Bluribus instead of Pluribus. Some 41-P have die gouges but nothing that matches that. There's some 41-D & S models with doubling in E PLURIBUS UNUM.

    Its late so I see what you are talking about. It looks like S T A to me. Is this what you are seeing? There is a great book written by Wilson Brian Key. Its called subliminal seduction. Its short, won't take you a night to read. After that you will really be seeing things. Let me know if I saw the same thing you saw.

    I see it. That 'B' is in an entirely different writing style from the regular letters. I was not put there. It is a toning pattern.
    The strangest things seem suddenly routine.

    its obviously the "blurry bus" variety.
