I found this anomaly in a roll hunt. It's rim is colored entirely silver/chrome. The sides are shinier than usual, and there is a raised strip of (molten maybe) metal laying across the one side. What happened here? It bugs me out.
Um, yeah so I can't upload my picture because its too big or something so forget it then. Or I can post it on any other website, just name it.

What year and mintmark is the dime? It could be a struck through error, but we can't tell, until we see both sides of the coin.
And you can try MS Paint to reduce the size and save it as a JPG. Sometimes it shrinks it too small to see though, but worth a try.

if the raised strip of metal is on the edge it could be a partial collar, but we would need to see pictures to make any real determination on what it is

This is it. I only took a picture of one side. It's all shiny except for a little browning where that strip of metal stripes across. Even the rim is uniform in color all the way around. Eventually I can take another picture or two.  |

It has been plated and was once soldered to something.

Whatever happened to that coin was not done in the Mint. |

Probably silver or chrome to make it more ornamental
