Well,, I'll be darn. According to various articles on the net, that's exactly what it is.... "a spooned coin". I just reviewed some of the previous post on CCF and the one from July 2023 makes me feel like I stepped on a stink bug. Seens like a lot of people don't have much to do but beat spoons on coins for fun or something like that. Thanks everybody.

PMD for sure. First thought is an early-stage Dryer Coin. Why would anyone spoon a dime,it is very small?It would be very difficult to spoon a clad coin, so some type of roller might have been used on it? John1

Quote: Why would anyone spoon a dime Back in high school in the 70s, I spooned a dime down to less than 1/3 of an inch dia just to see if I could. Had to use tweezers to hold it while I hit it with a spoon.
