D. 1981 D Roosevelt dime with a perfect circle scratch on the reverse through the words ONE DIME and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA . ... is this a true error?
Asked on Nov 25, 2020
No. It.is damage after it left the mint. For those of you who keep insisting on asking about damaged coins and whether they are errors, understand this principle: if the die is scratchrf the device on the coin is raised because the metal of the coin would flow up into the scratch of the die.
