coolduck007 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 1:35 pm Recently found this, what do you guys thing? Please be sure to watch the video I explain a lot about the coin in it vpSqj9Bk_50 Picture of the front of the coin, nothing special. This is a picture of the back were, as you can see there is a strip of what I believe to be nickel. Normal edge of coin (nickel copper layer) Not normal edge of coin (Just nickel) there is actually enough nickel there that with a strong enough magnet you can feel a pull, you will see what I mean in the video. This picture shows that the strip thing does not go over the rim Close up of dime (I had an even more magnified picture but it wouldn't let me upload it because the image was 500KB) Edited by coolduck007 08/02/2018 3:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 2:32 pm If it is taller than the rim, it was added onto the coin. The rim would be the highest point on a normal strike coin. The only exception would be a Cud or a rim Cud. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75104 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 2:45 pm To CCF! It's not an error at all. It's Post Strike Damage (it happened after it left the U.S. Mint). And no, it's not one of a kind. It's worth 10 Cents. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 5:23 pm Looks like a line of silver solder to me. But Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 6:42 pm Melting point of silver solder is different from regular solder, right? to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 7:49 pm Yes, by about 600 degrees. (Regular solder used for electronics or plumbing, melts at around 500 degrees F, silver solder around 1100 degrees F) You can't melt silver solder with a soldering iron, it takes a torch. The coin has been soldered or welded to something at one time. Edited by Conder101 08/02/2018 7:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21655 Posts	Posted 08/02/2018 9:15 pm I don't think it really matters or if we will ever know what really happened, the important thing is that there is no way it could have happened during the striking of the coin so it is some sort of PMD.
