Well I really enjoyed the way you took your images. You could get a full shot of the full coin. So with the upper 2/3 and the lower 2/3, I was able to put the images together with Photoshop.

i figure that works best instead of getting the whole dime and get unfocused or unclear images. So this is something I should toss in a 2x2?

If missing layer/layers why does it weigh normal? John1

 to the CCF! I'm confused on this one. Is it a copper washed dime? I don't think it's missing both clad layers as the core would only weigh about 1.23 grams. The area showing silver looks like it's showing a spot of clad under the copper. I need to think about this more.

 Well there is one area where the cladding is still present. Very small. Obverse at 2:00. (Most diamonds are larger than that) Possible because the planchet was even over weight a tad, that maybe why the devices fully struck up.

I'd see what they are going for. But I doubt they will exceed $200. All counts on coin grade. As a coin buyer. I pay nothing extra for a graded coin. Just raw pricing.

I've been wrong before and I may be wrong this time, but here goes. I still think this is a normal dime that's been copper washed. You can see areas where the clad shows through the copper "layer" on the obverse and reverse. The area where the copper is totally missing looks like it is below the surrounding copper colored surfaces, so I'm thinking that's the original clad layer that's been exposed. Also, I've never seen a coin with both clad layers missing. The weight being what it is and the strong strike, I just don't think it's an error. Missing clad means weak details and unless the copper core was rolled without any clad to start with, I just don't understand. There is a way to have this checked. If you can find a shop that buys silver and gold, they should have a tool that will tell what metal is in the coin. If it shows that the coin contains 8.33% nickel, with the rest being copper, then it's a regular dime. If the scan shows the coin is almost 100% copper, then it's an error. Here's a missing single clad layer and you can see how much the coins details have been affected. With both layers missing, the strike would be even weaker.
