I was coin roll hunting and came across a 2000D Dime in awesome condition. It has a completely smooth edge, much like a nickel and does not appear to have the "clad" composition where you can see a transition of the metals. Instead, it looks to be a single metal strike completely through. Looking at the coin from the side, the edge appears to be a perfect right angle. The coin is the correct dime size.

The coin is also missing the initials of the artist under Roosevelt's head.

Finally, the fasces on the reverse of the dime is flat and shows no detail. The coin does not appear worn at all.

I'll probably take better photos once I get the chance.

Anyone know anything about these?

Is it larger than a regular dime? It might be broadstruck centered out of collar?

GE-

For the record, that's a torch. Fasces were on the 1916-45 dimes.

Looks to have been plated and possibly soldered to something.

Definitely plated. Everything else wrong with it probably has to do with the tampering.

I tried to post them directly to the page, but my image host will only allow me 200mb/hr on these images. Since these images are so hi-def, they are about 2mb each. For some reason, my tiny thumbnails are not working on this site and they're too big to upload directly onto here.

About the dime not looking real, it might not be. It is missing some key details and has a completely smooth edge.

Can someone tell me for sure what's going on with this? Has anyone else seen these before? The fact that I found an exact duplicate might suggest something.
