FYI Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 05/26/2006 12:26 am I have recently obtaind an error dime that looks as if it never got a rim. it hass th full plaid layes intact, wheighs exactly the same as a normal dime, but the core is recesed about 1/2-1/3 millimeter. I cannot get a photo, but Id like to know if anybody has seen anything like this, as I cant find this error on-line. Edited by FYI 05/26/2006 12:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

FYI Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 05/27/2006 04:21 am exactly right, also , there is reeding on the clad, and the rim is not raised as much as it should be. I might be able to take a pic of this with my loupe showing it, but my camera is to stuffpy to do that on its own. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 05/27/2006 04:56 am I should have asked in the first post ,but you did not mention the date of the dime. so the rims are there just minimal ? as compared to a same date dime ? Rick Report this Post to the Staff
FYI Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 05/27/2006 11:23 am the date of the dime is actualy higher than the rims it is from 1965. I have created a macro lens for my camera wiith loupe and tape, it works better than most ive used! so anyway, here are the pics Image: dime edge.jpg 8.36 KB Image: dime obverse.jpg 58.11 KB Image: dime reverse.jpg 43.31 KB Edited by FYI 05/27/2006 11:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
