2004-D "double ear" dimes. Value?

errormaven

I was wondering what the current retail value for the 2004-D "double ear" dime is. A friend of mine is curious. I studied three of them and concluded it is a die dent.

Ten cents, to me.

i havent seen one other than a pic in coinworld.
cool die gouge roosie.
not sure if it reached all that much fanfair like the extra leaf quarter.

I agree with Cam40 - at least at this time the collector "interest" in this is not there. I do not have a dollar amount-sorry.

Isn't it odd that the simulacrum of an ear is worth bupkus, while the simulacrum of a leaf is worth hundreds of dollars? It's especially odd as the ear-like defect is apparently much rarer than the leaf-like defects. I haven't seen a single "double ear" dime on eBay.

There is very little interest in this coin among collectors. There are specialists who
have an interest but most will have more effective means of locating an example
than searching e-bay. It is this lack of interest which is likely the biggest reason
for a lack of a market rather than a true scarcity for the coin. And, of course, much
of the scarcity may be a result of the lack of interest. This same phenomnon exists
among many coins, tokens, and medals.

What Cladking said along with the fact that people are ravenously hungry to have something in the statehood series that makes them exciting, regardless of how small. No rare mintages, no reported doubled dies, etc...just a bunch of ill-executed designs on far too common coins.
