1993 Roosevelt Dime - No Information

#1 Unread post by gwencm »

Hi, I found a dime that looks strange, and have not been able to find any information or worth of this dime. It looks like part of the back of the dime is printed across Roosevelt's face. The other odd thing is that the N in the word one looks like its backwards. Anyone knows anything about this dime I would appreciated it.

Actually, both words; ONE DIME are backwards.

This happened when another DIME was laid on top of this one and smashed into it leaving a reverse image from the other DIME.

It is considered PMD (post-mint damage) and adds no value to the coin.

The D in Dime and the E in one are not mirror images, that is what is confusing me.

They are mirror images. The I, D, O, & E can confuse you because they look the same when upside down. Make sure you are looking at it as you photographed. Compare to similar letters just below on the unaltered area.
