Can any one please help. Is this a dime struck on penny planchet. The negative color resembles that of a penny rather than dime.  |

The picture aren't helpful, so I'm guessing this is more like environmental damaged that cause the discoloration.

 to The Community! Your coin appears to have environmental damage that occurred after it left the mint. That is most likely the cause of the discoloration. Post Mint Damage is often referred to here on the Forum as PMD and refers to coins that were damaged after they left the minting facility. Please keep looking and we look forward to your active participation in the Community! |

@dee, first welcome to CCF. Second, since coins can turn different colors when exposed to various environments and chemicals, using the weight of a coin is a better determinant of what planchet was used by the mint. We see many many more stained dimes than dimes struck on cent planchets posted here, but if you will add the weight of this piece to this thread, we can confirm if your just have a stained dime or something special. Thx.

to the CCF It is impossible to have dime struck on a CENT planchet as it would be too big to fit in a dime collar. What you have is environmental damage. |

I agree with the environmental conclusion...doesn't look like the upper clad layer is missing...which would give the appearence of being struck on a copper penny.

As mentioned there would be physical differences that would be able to be seen that we just aren't seeing. Your dime has undergone some environmental staining/toning/ chemical discolourization. Value: still 10 cents.  T |

This is not a dime struck on a Lincoln Cent planchet. Those do exist however (technically: Struck on a U.S. Cent Alloy Planchet) and one sold for around $4312.50 This coin was probably created when a strip of copper (for cent planchets) was mistakenly run through the planchet cutting machine when it was set for dime planchets. Thus copper dime-sized planchets were made and this particular one made it through the coining process and escaped into numismatic hands. It would seem logical that this type of error would be far scarcer than a dime struck on a cent planchet where numerous have been known to exist. https://coins.ha.com/itm/a/1271-5871.sEdited by datadragon

Data, that was a dime sized planchet punched out of a cent stock. A cent planchet would not fit into a dime collar.

I was just adding another way that has happened most have never heard of where you can have a dime on a cent stock - cut into copper dime-sized planchets which do fit and then got struck. |

Weight would be a big help. The weight will show it if is a dime or cent planchet  Copy this image for your personal educational images files. But the color is showing a dime color planchet. Edited by coop
