Maybe they gave it back to me as a dime. I went to a friend of mine who is into jewels and he said it's silver. What do you think? Worth something or not, I can upload some photos too if that can help. Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 08/19/2011 12:21 pm It is virtually impossible for it to be silver since US Mints were not striking ANY silver coins between 1977 and 1981. More so, no silver dime planchets were used at all between 1966 and 1991. It could potentially be a cent struck on a dime planchet but it is most likely a coin that has received a post-mint plating job. Pictures and a weight are required to say any more about it.
