    I was one of the last ones to leave the coin club meeting tonight and one of the guys found a 1919 mercury dime in a 2x2 holder on a chair.
    Pretty sure it was found on Duane's chair so I'll return it next meeting.
    In the meantime I'll have a little fun with it.
    Anyone ever seen one quite like this CO PY edition?
    Feel free to guess the grade :p

    W H A T ? Why would someone want that much for a copy of a dime that's not worth much?

    Interesting that COPY is in relief, rather than incuse. That means you could just grind it off! (And then you'd have a damaged crude fake.)

    Is it even metal? It kinda has that plastic-play-money look...

    Under 10x magnification it does look like a metal of sorts.
    Doesn't stick to a magnet.
    I didn't take it out of the 2x2 because it isn't mine.
    I googled the images and searched for another one but didn't find anything.

    I like that the designer's initials look like a Space Invader.
