    1978 Dime - Mint Errors on Reverse

    I came across this 1978 dime a few months back when going through my change from the grocery store and would greatly appreciate any feedback you guys can give me on it! I tried to take pictures from every angle.

    Not being specific about what you are seeing on a coin that prompted you to post it, lends to guessing .
    I’ll take a stab at you asking about the lines heading towards the rim from some of the devices, these are Flow Lines” and are a result from a LDS- VLDS . Worn Die’s

      I’m sorry, I didn’t even notice that I didn’t put that in my post Dutch-Tigger. When I was uploading the pictures, it deleted half my post and I had to retype it… what I’m referring to is the E and P as well as the flames… where they look like they were stuck in the mold and I guess you could say “stringy” at the tips? Like when taffy is pulled out of a candy mold…

        In my opinion, the only thing I see may be metal flow near. UNITED and AMERICA. it typically happens on older dies when the are not as sharp and pristine as they were, brand new. The metal gets squeezed between the dies and the metal can move in that direction, giving it a striated or line looking pattern.

        I do not see anything with added value or collectable interest for others on this coin.
