Craftworker Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 7:46 pm Up for discussion is a 1981S Proof Dime still in the OGP. Under the "9" in 1981 is a small piece of metal stuck to the dime. It is not on the plastic cover. Is this some sort of lamination from somewhere or what could it be? The pictures are as close as I can get with my limited resources. Any help is appreciated!

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 11:13 pm Ok, so it was packaged at the mint. It looks to me to be a piece of another coin or planchet that fell on your dime before or as it was being packaged. It is probably stuck to your dime either because it was hot or because some of the packaging adhered it, (glue or hot plastic. Just my theory. Report this Post to the Staff
Craftworker Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 10/30/2015 11:17 pm CoinMasters that is a really inventive theory. It sounds and looks feasible. Good thinking. Report this Post to the Staff
