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.
Error coin writer and researcher.
