Darabi Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 01/09/2026 01:57 am Hello community. It's been a while. Good to be back. I found this dime recently. The weight is 2.174 g. What can anyone tell me about it. The date and MM is not visible. I let the pictures tell you the rest. Report this Post to the Staff

You should be able to tell from the edge if it's silver or not, if not, then just a spender. Here is a coin that was hit with a wire wheel. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Darabi Valued Member United States 52 Posts	Posted 01/09/2026 09:51 am Thank you all for the comments. Sorry about the pics. Terrible lighting. It is not silver. Now that I look more closely, Torched seems more in line with the pattern and the gripper mark on the edge. Makecents, I have a penny similar to the one you posted. That was gonna be my next post. Not anymore. Report this Post to the Staff
