It looks like a Mercury dime with a chip out of it, most likely post mint damage. Tip: try to make photos of at least 2 sides of the coin, that usually makes things a lot easier. :) |

Looks like PSD. The clip is the wrong size for an incomplete planchet. John 1 |

Maybe a 1916 that had the date clipped off to make it easier to remove the 6 to apply over the 7 on a 1917-D  |

That cut on the cheek looks like it was made by the same edge that took a bite out of the rim. (Yum! Silver.)

Old English hammered pastime of clipping silver coins, it's back in fashion by the looks of it, money to be made taking a bit at a time.

Awesome find! Silver's silver, and that's all there is to it.

Mox's idea is certainly original, but I'm guessing it's just mischief.

I thought it was neat because in the chip it has the same design as there is around the whole dime! The ridges are the same.
