Roosevelt dime .. you have to see this

This is a 1977 D Roosevelt dime.

I have been referring to it as my thin dime. It is about as thick as 2 sheets of stacked new copy paper. Significantly thinner than a normal dime.

It has a very copper color.

Although the pics donn't make it obvious the image on both sides are fully formes but not raised as much as on a normak coin.

It apears to have all image and literal elements on both sides. It does not have a raised edge and the circumference is completely reeded.

When stacked over a normal dime it is very slightly smaller in circumference. Possibly by the difference of the lack of raised edge.

I have posted pics of inverted images to hopfully provide better contrast.

I hope you enjoy it.

If you have any information concerning any other similar errors, please post.

If you understand how this happened, I would also value that information.
