RoscoeCham Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 05/02/2022 02:14 am Found this dime...I think it is a 2000 but not positive... Can I get some opinions on what this is... It's thicker than normal and the copper is on the reverse side of the rim... Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97323 Posts	Posted 05/02/2022 08:30 am Of the 2 dime edge coin, which one is the thicker one? A normal one or the one you are asking about? Collecting since 1972.

RoscoeCham Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 05/02/2022 08:38 am The thicker one is the one I'm asking about and also, on a normal dime the copper edge is on the obverse (heads) side but this one it's on the reverse(tails) side. Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 05/02/2022 10:09 am Awesome coin. Long story short two dimes got struck one on top of another. This being the bottom one. That isn't the full explanation, you can find that here. https://www.error-ref.com/ Under capped die strike I think. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/02/2022 11:20 am Looks like a deteriorating die cap. Note how the cap is thinning and more of the obverse design is coming through on the struck through area. https://www.error-ref.com/?s=Die+Caps Report this Post to the Staff
RoscoeCham Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 05/02/2022 12:34 pm I took a couple more pictures comparing it with another dime. Can you tell me which it is that causes the copper rim to be opposite of normal? Report this Post to the Staff
RoscoeCham Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 05/02/2022 12:34 pm The normal one is on the left. Edited by RoscoeCham 05/02/2022 12:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
