Slymer Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 11:01 pm Hey ya'll need help with identifying this dime that has missing number on the date ...196?...? Any clue with this one ? Thanks-Slymer Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/15/2018 11:29 pm Sorry, a closeup of the date is needed. Is there copper visible on the edge? It looks like a silver dime, so 1960-64.

FrankenCoin Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 12:07 am Looks like it has been in the ground for some time and cleaned white silver? My focus on date would help. I believe spruett001 may be on target. Second thought that almost looks like the corner of a 4. Edited by FrankenCoin 04/16/2018 12:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 12:11 am A full view of coin both sides too, will tell Mintmark. I see details appearing close to the rim. this is either a VLDS die state, deterioration or I detect some rim malformation of a possible Dryer Coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Slymer Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 12:33 am It's a 1961 d cleared off some of the crud Report this Post to the Staff
FrankenCoin Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 12:37 am Interesting looks like part of the 1 was never stamped? If that is the case I am sure some one here might know more than I about this one. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 12:45 am Thanks for the pics! I agree it appears to be 1961 and also an early to mid stage Dryer Coin, as Crazyb0 pointed out.

Slymer Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 04/16/2018 11:20 am Here's another image of the coin. Want you to take a look at the end of of the date, to the right side of the 1, looks like there's something there ...I can't make out what it is or if anything at all. Plus on the forehead there appears to be another eye? Let me know what you think. Thanks-Slymer oh and one last thing is about the shape of the rim, it makes the coin look like a saucer bowl , it is raised whilst the middle dipped in like a plate or a bowl Report this Post to the Staff
