  Hi. I inherited a bunch of silver coins. Three of the 1964 dimes have tabs/protrusions on the top and bottom. Do you think these were produced at the mint? Thanks.

Hi there @ktr. First welcome to CCF. Second, rather than being an artifact of the minting process, I rather believe that these dimes were made into jewelry at one point and the silver solder was used to connect them to loops or something similar. These coins are only worth the bullion value.
