Error Guys---Need some help!!!

DorkGirl

I know they are just scans, but is this a mint error, or something that happened post mint? Thanks for your help

that looks double stuck on the reverse to me.

Looks like you got yourself a double struck coin.

I think it;s an alteration. The distortion isn't there for double struck and that sure doesn't look like a cud.

Still, a great find.....

Alteration, sorry. A real double-struck area couldn't be raised above the surface of the original strike.

Looks like another coin was placed on top and then hit with a hammer. mike

It looks like solder to me. I think maybe this coin was a jewelry piece and soldered to another dime, and when the second coin broke away a fossilized pattern of the denticles was left behind.

Good eye Sean....I think that is a very plausible explanation.

My thought exactly...there's no way that could be an original mint error.
