Spence Moderator United States 34395 Posts	Posted 08/17/2023 2:35 pm @3388, I see that the obv of the dime is upside down with respect to the other denominations, but what does the other side look like? In other words, is your question how a coin might have been inadvertently rotated when placed in this aftermarket holder or whether the coin was struck with rotated dies?

It is an aftermarket holder produced by Capital Plastics. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 08/17/2023 2:45 pm yep, Hondo is correct, somebody compiled this 'set' possibly putting the dime in upside down or it is a 'rattler' and rotated inside the hole over time. Put on some cotton gloves, open the case, and reset that dime.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
