Wow, who on earth would part with that much money and not know enough to know what they were buying was fake....I mean sheesh...when was the last time you saw an all copper dime planchet? May there be a sucker everyday that exceeds our expectatupions of just how poor our human genepool can be. Seems like everyday someone on CCF posts an obvious fake coin of some sort on ebay that even the untrained eye would pick out as fake yet sells for signifcant money. BTW this is in reference to the above response and not the main posting...lol Edited by unholyroller

You need that done with such an unusual find if you want top dollar for it. not only that, but you'll want to be 100% sure of what you've got. just because something looks like a diamond doesn't mean it is. |

i saw that ebay listing as well. it's pretty upsetting how much junk people are getting ripped off on. I'm pretty sure I can dig up some Loch Ness monster skin, or Bigfoot fur to sell...maybe retire before I hit 40. |

Size is right, color is right, weight is right, shows the copper core on the edge, everything I see and am hearing tells me this is a genuine cent struck on a dime planchet.

Looks like my 1980-D cent on a dime planchet. Nice find!

Have you looked into a coin shop in your area? If there is one or a coin show, take that coin there and ask if it's real. Also, those would be a good place to find out how to send it in to a TPGS such as PCGS or NGC. Also, they could possibly do it for you for a price. Of course you could just send it to me and stop worrying about all this.  |

It has the look of having been struck on a clad dime planchet. To really know for sure, it has to be evaluated. If you can get it slabbed, as such, you'll get top dollar for it. If you try to sell it short of that authentication, you'll likely get less for it.

huh, I checked on here thinking I would see a plated cent, or something like that.
Glad I opened this thread. Very cool find. Let us know if you send it in to get authenticated.
Good luck

Maybe this question needs or deserves its own thread, but biggfredd posted this, "Here's a fake cent on dime blank that sold for almost $200. http://cgi.ebay.com/270825298656", and it made me think of another question: Is it possible to determine if an item from ebay has been returned as snad? |

At least that fake one has a return policy!

Wow nice find. You would think that being in circulation someone else would have noticed it and kept it.

It's an authentic example of a cent struck on a dime planchet.
