Coinrow21 New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 08/12/2019 06:02 am Hello to the cities! I'm fairly new to the community. My collecting of error coins has led me to finally ask about what I have. I am in need of advice. Does anybody know what this is? I know that it's a Mercury dime. But is it struck on two planchettes? Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 08/14/2019 09:06 am to the CCF I've read that sailors sometimes did this to coins to wile away the hours at sea. Once the edge was rounded, the center was drilled out and smoothed to create a silver ring. If this dime was originally damaged with a ring in mind, it would have been for a child. Since there's as yet no drilling, the "perpetrator" may have had another silver jewelry item in mind. I've heard this process of pounding the rim referred to as "spooning"; this, as a spoon was often used to hammer the edge. Just think .... This coin might have been to Normandy and back!
