    BIG crack(s)/Clashing 1996 Roosie

    Yes, the 'heretic' continues to find pocket change weirdness!

    Totally carding this one up too. There's even more clashing than I could annotate, such as the slightest trace of reverse letters around the "LI" of "Liberty". This thing is just bursting with error-ly goodness!

    Nice clash and cracks... A little hard to tell what you have under the LI but it does appear to be a clash... Those dies were near the end of their useful life... Lots of flow lines even a slight off center strike... Are those cracks on the edges of the west leaves??? I see a some what raised bumpy lines in that area???

      That they are, my friend! There's so much weirdness going on with this dime, there's no way I could annotate it all (and have it not look like someone threw an M-80 in a can of pick-up sticks!) but caught the hi-lites. I think it might be the "U" in "United" between the L & I, and possibly a piece of the "N" between the I & B. Little odds & ends pretty much everywhere...for sure these dies were WAY past due for switch-out!

        The M80 is (At least use to be) equal to a quarter stick of dynamite so a few of the pick up sticks would survive
