I'm excited! Reverse is missing 100% of its nickel clad. It's even missing it on the outside rim.   |

 Looks like it is toned not missing clad layer. Weight? John1 
( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion )
Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971

Well, the reverse looks very normal to me, but the obverse (the front side, heads if you will) looks to be a coppery appearance. A fully cladded dime should weigh in at 2.27 grams. I suppose it is possible that the obverse cladding is missing, but the strike looks normal to me I would think that if the cladding was removed, or just came away, the devices would have a 'softer' appearance. Can you post up an image of the edge please?

Just curious now, which side in that image of the edge is the obverse facing? left or right? I'm seeing more of a taper or chamfer on the left side when compared to the right...

That's a nice error coin still in quite nice condition. Both the obverse and reverse show weakness in the details due to the thinner planchet, and the weight bears this out as well showing the dime to be missing the clad layer on the obverse.

Looks like a missing clad. Note how the strike was weakened with the missing thickness. Nice find.

So, there is no cladding on the edge, which means the cladding was not on the sheet just prior to getting punched into a blank. I say this because the cladding usually gets 'smeared' down the edge during blanking process. (am I correct so far?) and if so, would this mean that there could be more out there (if the mint didn't catch them all.

Nice find. The weight is right. I would think that the strike would be a little weaker, but it is weak.
