I noticed that ONE DIME is about twice the distance from the edge. I will try my local coin shop tomorrow for a weight. I believe that it will weigh less then half what it should.

Your last shot is very convincing. I would say it's a rolled thin planchet as was proposed before. Sorta suprised it struck up as well as it did. Looks like someone in the past did a scratch test to see if it was real. Bummer!

In this shot you can see the coin in question is definitely larger in diameter than the other dime which could be due to a broad strike or PMD. For the OP: do you have a pic of a regular dime on top of the coin in question? And as stated above what is the weight of the coin   |

If you look closely at the bottom of the picture, the coin in question is just raised up, but they appear to be about the same diameter. |

Picture 3 is dime on dime, all that sticks out is the squished bit. I will try to get it weighed tomorrow. Thanks for the posts.

I'm not sure how the process works but could it be possible that the squished bit jammed and the scratch marks are from a tool that was used to get it loose? The squished bit appears to be the edge.

Jack , many errors that are called rolled thin are actually tapered planchet errors, one thickness to another within the same planchet from the same stock. I would think it probable even dime stock could be rolled thin

I'm certain that the scratches are PMD. If the coin got stuck in the minting process, it would have been destroyed before it could enter circulation. |

Is the dime smaller around than normal?

1.33 grams a little more than half.

Reminds me of an coin dipped in acid. That would reduce the thickness and outside edge evenly showing that it at one time had a full strike. If the planchet was struck with that thickness, the relief would be weak.

Is this such an odd occurrence? What would be the rarity rating or collectable interest? It was noted earlier in this post that this coin was the thinnest, really?

Would it be worth sending this coin to PCGS for authentication?
