roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 11:54 am I am assuming this is PMD but the weight is right on (2.50 grams)so if metal was added wouldn't it be higher? Maybe the rim damage from 5 to 6 oclock accounts for the weight being right? (metal lost there but same amount added so it cancels) or is the rim related to the anomaly? Someone tell me its PMD so I can quit staring at it and put it in with my other "junk" silver Report this Post to the Staff

Sorry, I had to go there. My guess is you're correct on all counts - the weight of the mount is offset by what's been shaved from the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 2:26 pm Isn't that added metal tin? If so, I think the actual weight of the lost silver/added tin should be about the same, counting with some extra worn-away silver. Report this Post to the Staff

roach Valued Member United States 364 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 9:29 pm They had it easy in the olden days (cheap anyway) I wish I could get away with putting a dime on a pin and giving it to my girlfriend for Valentines day or Christmas. I don't think that would fly-----A double eagle maybe.....but not a dime! Report this Post to the Staff

GoldenIslesCoins Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 04/24/2015 2:36 pm This is silver solder on the dime. It was done after it left the mint and takes away from the value. A stick pin coin almost for sure. My thoughts anyways.Also wear on the dime makes it lighter but the silver solder makes it back to about the correct weight. Report this Post to the Staff
