Hinkle Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Could this be a RIDB=retained internal die break, or just a die crack/die chips. Any info would be appreciated thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woods020 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 I’ve never heard of a RIDB? Die breaks are retained. Do you mean a retained lamination? This is a die break. Recent dimes are littered with breaks, die erosion, etc.. They are bad if you look under magnification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a die break. Recent dimes are littered with breaks, die erosion, etc.. They are bad if you look under magnification. I was reading and getting other opinions on line/forum. And came a cross someone calling there coin a RIDB that was going through the hair of the obverse. Idk but was researching RIDB and came up that if it is a RIDB that it's not an error but variety. I do a bunch of reading and research through other professionals like wexler's, Ken potter ect... I stay away from YouTube theres so much false information on there. I just figured out a couple years ago to read and get better understanding what I have. But read from the right ones. And of course you guy's in here. Like I said before there's alot of reading in this hobby. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
