Help with 200? Dime error???

I found this in my pocket change and noticed this on the date, the date
reads 200 with a very faint top of a 2 on the end I scanned a picture and
would like opinions of this and is it common or what...since I"m new at
collecting coins. TIA

It's an example of what can happen when a recessed part of the die, in
this case the last digit of the date, fills with grease during the
minting process. It's interesting, but not valuable.

Very good picture, by the way!

Thanks Tom...I scanned it and did a 200% so ya can see the detail...I think
I did it in grayscale also.

A filled die. I found one just like it only it was a 200-P dated coin. You
can see it at

They are interesting but not very valuable.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in
a pretty and well preserved body. Rather, it's to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "WOW! What a
Ride!"

2002's and 2000's of both MM's had problems with the blanks--they didn't get
softened up enough when they made the rims. You can tell that's what this
one is because you can see the lighter colored area near the rim all the way
around the coin. Plus because the digit didn't get fully struck it would
make it more prone for the die to wear out faster there and also be more
prone to filling up with goo.
There are hundreds of millions just like it. The ones that are worthy don't
show any of the last digit at all or better still have a fully struck last
digit. The ones that have the complete last digit are tougher to find than
what you found.

Why does your URL say 2000-D?
