    Recently purchased a set of BU Roosevelt Dimes, and I came across this one, a 1957 Philly in which FDR appears to have a wart or pimple on his nose. Anyone ever seen this before? Any chance it's a recognized error or variety?

    Apologies on the quality of the photos... shot on iPhone through a loupe. I need to get a USB microscope.

    Looks like a die chip, a minor error.

    If you want to find die chips, just take some time looking at dimes. Chips are very common on the facial areas.

    Thanks for all of the feedback. Although a minor error, it's a keeper for sure, and it's cool to have finally found one -- I have other error coins, but they were all bought as error coins. This one just showed up in the set I bought.
