jessiqn75 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 8:25 pm Hi. I have a 1967 Dime that appears that it has not been pressed together properly...the top and bottom stick out over the center of the coin. And I could be wrong, but the top and bottom also appear to be a different metal. I do not have another 1967 to compare it to. I weighed it and it weighs 2.0 grams. I weighed a 66 and 68 which weighed 2.2 grams. So not sure if that has to do with it not being pressed properly. Thanks for any information * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

Acid will eat away the copper core before the nickel cladding creating this effect. There have been a few of these popping up lately. Edited by JimmyD 08/28/2022 8:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34452 Posts	Posted 08/28/2022 8:50 pm @jess, sorry but your dime has been exposed to an acid or other corrosive liquid. That explains the preferential removal of copper core, light weight, and surface roughness. This is not a mint error.

After just a few seconds, the acid made dimes that looked just like yours. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
