lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 01/16/2020 08:42 am Does not appear to be a dime planchette. What is the diameter? Plus closer and clearer pics would help Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/16/2020 08:58 am If it was on a dime planchet, it would be nickel color and weight differently from a cent planchet. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21652 Posts	Posted 01/16/2020 09:08 am Also if it was on a dime planchet, you would not have full rims as a dime is smaller than a cent. Report this Post to the Staff

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 01/16/2020 1:52 pm It appears to be a very corroded coin. Maybe a metal detector find. Dan Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/16/2020 5:03 pm The coin could have been reduced by sanding or even adding acid to it. But it is not a dime planchet. On a dime planchet the color would not be red. Also the devices would fall close to the edge of the coin: 1943 cent on dime planchet: Note the edges of the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
