You also agree to follow these guidelines. You must agree to these rules to be a member of this forum. NO SPAM! Spam is deleted within minutes, no spam will ever be left in our community.

1. Post a front and back image of your coin with a specific question about what you’re seeing or asking about and one coin per topic.

2. Please remove coin from the holder unless it’s US or an official mint case or unless it is graded by a grading service.

3. Images should be taken by a camera or cell phone camera, we ask that members don’t use images through a microscope screen.

4. Always start your own topic, please don’t ask about your coin or post your coin in someone else’s coin topic.

5. Do not send private messages about your coin unless an Admin ask you too and the same for sending emails through the board.

6. No spam. Do not post any links to your coin or other non-coin websites.

7. Always be respectful even if something makes you upset or you don’t agree with a member. You can always get a second opinion elsewhere. If you have an issue then politely ask an admin in an PM. PM’s are for issues, technical and personal, but not for coin questions (refer to number 5 on this list). Our community is not a soap box for complaining or drama, so please refrain from doing so here.[/size]

Welcome to the forum and thanks for posting yur coin image. What you have here is a heavily abraded die strike. The die was so used up and worn that it caused its design elements to become "mushy" and this was translated to the coins design during the strike. It's not uncommon and doesn't add any extra value to your coin.

It seems as though dimes are good for this kind of abrasion. I've seen a lot of dimes in similar condition. They are kinda neat though :w

I have a few of these, but thought they just went through the washer too many times.
This helped me too.
I like work; it fascinates me.
I can sit and look at it for hours.
