I found this dime at work, I normally hunt for silver coins and noticed a major difference with this dime. It has a strong mirror like finish, it weighs 2.5g, and the reeded edge is completely silver in color. I've been looking online and wasn't sure if this is a plated coin(like those gold/platinum plated quarters for example that they've sold on TV; I have a few State Quarters that have a similar look. But if anyone could help I'd appreciate it, I hope the pictures are good enough quality, they aren't as large as I wanted them. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Tjmz87 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/20/2022 6:02 pm Haha awesome! Thank you for the advice about the photos. I saw it in our change dispenser, super easy to skim them and pick out the odd ones. I usually find at least one coin a week, haven't found any error coins yet. I'll have to buy a 2x2 like you said to protect it. Sorry I don't know how to directly quote reply to everyone. Edited by Tjmz87 07/20/2022 6:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
