1961 ROOSEVELT PROOF DIME STRUCK THROUGH FIBERS?

[rbroederer]

I am looking at another dime form the box. This one looked like a promising Cameo I had marked as PR68CAM. I turned it over to see the reverse and again thought it was something in the flip. This time it looks like the coin was struck through a bunch of fibers. There is a flat spot on the rim near the anomaly. Thoughts or comments?

Now that's a bad day at the mint. Afraid I don't have anything to add to this one.

I think mustbebob meant to say "add"

Hello Bob, Great to hear from you again. A bad day at the mint is good for the finder! Cheers, Bruce.

Hummm wonder if it was a failed or an accident at refrosting the die ?
It may be a brush that tainted the die, or during die setup, and test strikes, some one's hair got in the way.

Hello Gary, Thanks for the thoughts. I thought the small ding on the rim may have caused the fibers/hair to get snagged. Cheers, Bruce.
