Dearborn Moderator United States 96597 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 09:15 am I think that Hondo in on the correct path here. Quote: I think the dime was "pressed" on hollowed out reverse. Note the reverse image. but the image is not reverse on the 'coin' above. The olive and oak branches are on the correct sides, and you can clearly read "Unite States of America" especially the 'ATES OF AMERICA' part. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 3:13 pm It wouldn't surprise me if the person that did this removed a clad layer (both?) on a dime before inserting it into the "pocket" to keep the coin copper. That could explain the very weak details. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6535 Posts	Posted 12/27/2025 5:38 pm I think Pete has the right idea. I bet someone split the cupronickel layer off a a campfire coin and hammered the result into the front half of a magician's cent. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96597 Posts	Posted 12/28/2025 4:48 pm I think acid would dissolve the softer copper core, before the cladding was removed. Collecting since 1972.

Dearborn Moderator United States 96597 Posts	Posted 12/28/2025 8:16 pm you didn't notice that the image wasn't reversed? I was replying to jfeed's comment on it being a reverse image.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 12/29/2025 4:09 pm Quote: I think acid would dissolve the softer copper core, before the cladding was removed. Hmmm. I was thinking of applying it to only one side of the dime at a time, not full immersion. Well then, it might be time for an experiment. (Another mad scientist experiment where people are asking "How could that damage happen?") Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
