JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 5:21 pm It is a CENT that has had the rims removed. People used to do this to make it the size of a dime to use in vending machines. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96209 Posts	Posted 06/29/2022 6:38 pm Nope that is a CENT struck on a CENT planchet, then ended up in some evil hands and was de-rimmed. Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 3:12 pm Yes. A coin to get a 10 cent soda for one cent. The difference is on your coin there was no acid used. Just removed part of the outer edge of the coin with a file and reduced the height of the coin. Thus another attempt to save money on cheating a soda machine.
