    I have this dime I acquired with a coin collection that appears to be partially clipped. The only problem is it seems "LIBERTY" and the edge of the rim have been squished inwards on the left side of the obverse. Any insights as to exactly what type of error this is, and possible value would be much appreciated.

    It's not an error. Someone squished it with some pliars or something.

    I don't think it was squished with pliers, there's no damage whatsoever on the rim. I was thinking maybe it was melted.

    I was thinking the same thing.. Heated somehow and then one side melted
    But.. it's not an error coin :yuck:

    I figured so, but seeing how I'm relatively new to collecting I like to double check on some coins I'm not sure about. Thanks for the replies.

    I have a 1956 dime that the backside of it is backwards like a mirror image. How much if anything is it worth

    How about a double die on the reverse side the mint mark D.

    Start a new thread.. Pictures are needed always.
    And the correct numismatic terminology is Doubled Die.. Not double die.

    @Alexis Latin coins ...Welcome to Coin Talk. It’s best to start a new thread with pictures so we can properly assess your coin . and, when you do, be sure to crop out any extra background and use “full image”... also...

    Always check the date of the thread before you post. You responded to this one that is a little over 4 yo...every one of us who posts has had to learn this...Spark
