This is an exceptional opportunity for error coin collectors! This is a genuine, circulated 1916 United States Barber Dime featuring a dramatic and clearly visible mint error known as a Die Clash.
A Die Clash occurs when the obverse and reverse dies strike each other without a planchet in between. This crashing action forces the design elements of one die onto the surface of the other, which then transfers to every subsequent coin struck.
The Error Explained: "Ghost Profile" Die Clash
The reverse side (the "ONE DIME" wreath) displays a distinct, incuse (raised) impression of Liberty's portrait.
Primary Clash Impression (Ghost Profile): A clear, unmistakable profile outline is visible within the wreath, just to the right of the corn stalk. This is the transferred design of Liberty's face and cap.
Secondary Impressions: Fainter lines and design elements from the obverse are also visible above and around "ONE DIME," further confirming the severity and coverage of the Clash error.
