hi folks, i have a 1995 Cent on a Dime - Dual Denomination Error. weighs in at 2.4 grams. I can not see the date on the dime, might be 1995 or 1991. I see it in the research that I have done up to this point. I am wondering if anyone here would know more. in paticular if you see anything that would say real or fake. if it is authentic, any approximate idea of its value as a raw coin. I know, it should be graded and authenticated. thanks in advance for any help. take care, photogame      |

That is really cool - I hope it is Authentic. I'll waiting for the responses as well. I can see reeding on planchet. Maybe you can post another image with it next to a normal dime - for total size comparison.  |

#1 it is made up. Think abboouddit! A cent is larger in diameter than a dime...it would NEVER fit inside the dime collar. #2 the outline of the bust hast a definite circular field around it such as you would find on a stamp, more dime detail would have been transferred. I imagine the is a Mirror CAD manufactured product. That is a machine that takes a design and etches it into a metal stock punch which is then used by Little Johnnie in Daddy's Workshop along with a hammer to punch it onto the cent. Johnnie has gone off to College! Which all would be correct if it was the other way around, apparently this is the real deal a dime was put into a one cent Press. Interesting... TPG ASAP!Edited by Crazyb0

Wow. It certainly looks genuine. I don't know how a dime could end up in the cent press planchet hopper other than with "mint employee assistance." It would be more interesting if the dime's date was legible. I bet it would be before 1995. Nevermind, knowing a little of Mint security procedures, it is most likely on a 1995 dime. Very cool!

 - a dime put into the press minting pennies. Reeded edge of dime showing. Cent overstrike on dime -- hence missing dime date. Quite a find! Sorry I don't know value - check ebay for similar sold coins. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Revisiting it, I would send that baby in for grading/authentication. ANACS would be the easiest If you don't have any other coins to submit. Here's an ebay listing for one that sold for $560 (slabbed): 252913155799I don't know the value for a raw version but, there's no reason to not submit it to a TPG. Good luck!

The coin was pulled out of circulation, in pocket change. I just wish I could say it was my pocket, not. but I am the coin guy, so that person came to me for some info.

2.4 gms appears to be overweight for a clad dime planchet.
Based only on that I say bogus.

That is 100% within the limits. I think you have a winner. Submit it to PCGS/NGC/ANACS?

Looks genuine, I would have no problems with it. If the scale it was weighed on only went to one decimal point it could very easily show 2.4 grams. Spec weight is 2.27 which would show as 2.3 grams. Tolerance is .091 grams which could take it to 2.36 grams which would read as 2.4 grams. So weight is OK. Quote:
#1 it is made up. Think abboouddit! A cent is larger in diameter than a dime...it would NEVER fit inside the dime collar. The dime was struck first and then the struck dime got into the cent press. The cent dies would never have to fit into the dime collar. Never mind, I see you figured that out. You will also note that the final coin is slightly larger than a regular dime. That is because the striking in the cent press with the larger collar allowed the coin to spread out a little more. |
