I sent in this Bust dime a little while ago, is it a variety or is any request for that worth asking with PCGS, die cud?

    Sure looks like a cud.... no idea if it is a listed variety.... Interesting wear pattern on the stars... worn on the lower half and more detailed at the top. Cheers, RickO

    Interesting. Looks like an incomplete cud. Any such
    thing?

    The lower weakness is due to the failing die. It has to be a late die state for the variety.

    Should I ask them to do a variety on it?

    Looks like a lamination it to me - does not look like a dike crack or precut die crack

    Ok, so not worth the attribution. Reverse. http://i.imgur.com/t4oCHTm.jpg

    @logger7

    Tip the coin on edge. You should be able to see a sliver of open space where the surface has peeled away from the 8. That = lamination.

    Thanks, it's actually in economy now, I thought I would ask again to see if attribution would make any sense but obviously not.

    Another vote for lamination here. I'd tell you to poke it with a stick, but you've already sent it to our hosts. I'm not sure if that's beyond their threshold of pain for holdering a coin without mention of the lamination.

    Why would a submitter have to pay extra .They already have the coin in hand and
    grading it?

    Lamination. Raggedy,crack like broken edges. Most CUDS I've seen have more smooth,rounded like edges to them.
