This coin has been altered to show wear which could never have happened in five years. C'mon.

Clad coinage is harder than silver. For that much wear you must either have sand in your pockets or have walked much, much farther than I have in the past 5 years.

I can't keep change in my pockets without it falling out, let alone that much jingle driving me nuts.

I'm certainly not joking. I simply don't believe this wear could happen in five years on a hard clad coin. Just my opinion.  |

An experienced user like jack jeckel has nothing to gain from being dishonest.

Ah, the 15-P dime is the silver reverse proof, though in that condition it's tempting to use the word "was". It did look oddly white.

Umm, ok, so is that 2015-P dime clad or silver? If silver, that would have been worth mentioning in this thread about coin wear since, as you know, silver is uncommon for Philly-minted dimes of this period, and wears quite differently than the harder clad composition. When I saw that coin's edge I figured it was merely dusty from being in a bag with other coins, grit, etc.

It is silver. It is from the 2015 March of Dimes Silver set which included W-proof and P-reverse proof silver dimes with the 2015 March of Dimes silver dollar.

Grading standards would be the same as they judge the amount of wear on a coin, not the composition of the coin. I will point out that the only difference would be the grade would be PF6, not G6 or whatever since the coin is a proof strike. Edited by jack jeckel
