Type 1 blank planchet dime

I found this in my till today, almost didnt catch it because we were busy and I was in a rush but just in the nick of time I seen it I believe it's a type one because the rim isnt upset.

Are you sure? The rim looks slightly up-turned to me.

turned on its side it looks flat

 

Note where the light and dark areas meet just inside the edge from about 12 o'clock to 4 o'clock. I could be wrong, but it suggests to me that it turns upward very slightly.

I forgot to ask, "What does it weigh?"

Chris

 

2.25 grams typical clad weight

 

I think the light and dark is because of the lighting I am using. How big of a difference does it make between the 2 types. If it is a big enough difference I will make more of an effort to show it.

 

That looks like an upset rim to me also

 

nice catch

 

Eric. A Blank is Flat. A Planchet has an upset rim. I see a Planchet with an upset rim

You are thinking of this on a milled Dime with a Rim;

But it is actually this

 

See the difference between a Blank and a Planchet.. I have many of these.

 

after looking into it a little more I believe you are right. It looked like a type 1 at first. But I have a question about difference in value on something like this, is there any?

 

It's very hard to prove whenever it is a blank even if the weight is correct. Suppose you find one in an original Mint bag. Do you think anyone is going to take your word for it that it came from that bag? The grading services might believe Fred Weinberg or Ken Potter, but Joe Schmo? Hell no!

Nope! Take a look at the planchets that Paddy posted.
