About Dan Moore
Expertise
My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience
I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.

Coin Collecting - 1967 dime with dwarf '7'


Expert: Dan Moore - 9/3/2009

Question
When I saw this oddly shaped 7 on a 1967 dime, it seemed worthy of a question.  Is this the result of a slightly off strike?  Does it create any value beyond $0.10 for the coin?  Thank you.  

Answer
Saleem,

From the looks of it in the picture, it looks like there was a foreign substance (like machine grease) in the die when the coin was struck, preventing the full strike of the 7.

Collector interest in coins like this is low.  If you can find an interested buyer, you might get a dollar for it.

I hope this helps,

Dan
