It's essential to have it in the title. * I found this dime in some change of mine. It's a 1996 Dime but on the obverse side it has a extra marking on it and I'm not sure what it is or if it could be worth anything . Can someone help me !! Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21603 Posts	Posted 01/14/2026 9:11 pm To the CCF That is the Reverse side you are referring to. The Obverse is the side with Roosevelt head. To answer your question, that is some sort of mount that was added after the dime left the mint, possibly for a piece of jewellery. Considered a damaged dime now. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 01/15/2026 12:23 am If it were a silver dime, then "jewellery mount" would be the best explanation, but a base-metal dime has no business being turned into jewellery or a button. These days it's far cheaper to buy a button than to turn a coin into a button. What I suspect has happened here, is one of those "hey, let's glue a coin to a sidewalk and watch people try to pick it up" pranks, only instead of the usual superglue, they've soldered the coin to a piece of wire. Some very determined person has then come along with a saw and cut the coin off at the wire. In the downtown mall in Adelaide, Australia, an artist back in the early 2000s made an "art installation" by attaching coins to the sidewalk in this fashion. Within six months, every single coin had been removed, despite the extra difficulty needed to do so. Some people were even spotted on security cameras taking a saw to the coins. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
