My husband has an 1824 dime, The numbered print on the dime is clearly 1324.any experts ever hear of it?

Answer 1

You did not mention which country the dime is from. I assume you mean a U S dime. There is no reported strike of the 1824 dime with a 3 where the 8 should be. Are you certain it is a dime? To see a picture of what the dime should look like, go to this link and click on the number to the left of 1824.

Answer 2

Assuming there are no typos on your question the 1824/1324 discrepancy is easily harmonized. Early coins (very eary) often had what is called a "mis-strike" in which the master plate did not properly "strike" the precious metal used to make the coin. When that happened one or more of the numbers did not show up properly. Today when that happens a computer-scanning program captures and removes all "mis-strikes" but in the early days of coin making they would often slip through unnoticed. therefore what SHOULD have been an "8" comes outlooking like a "3".

And there you have it.

Answer 3

Sounds as if part of the 8 is worn away. I've never heard of a 1324 dime.

Answer 4

Well I would take it to a coin dealer to be sure, but the problem with a coin of that age is there was no central bank, lots of banks and groups printed and minted their own currency so i may not be an official US dime.

if it is from 1824 then it is probably very valuable.

Take it in to be appraised from a few different places.

Best of luck.
