JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 12/15/2019 1:59 pm Edit: Thought it said 1955 not 1951 this looks like it is all copper so I don't think it was struck on a dime planchet. The obverse looks like environmental damage resulting in loss of weight. I could be wrong about the obverse but I'm pretty certain it is not on a dime planchet.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 12/15/2019 2:05 pm It looks like a "Soda-Pop" cent. The diameter and thickness have been reduced, most likely acid dipped, so it could be used in a vending machine as a dime. Coop has a set of images and a better explanation so let's see if he happens upon this post. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T!
