I'm sure there will be lots of posts on this
thread in the next few days, but until someone
can examine the holder itself, everything else
will be pure speculation only.

Again, I'm certain its not on a silver planchet,
but I fully understand that you want to be
1,000 certain one way or the other.

 

Yes and honestly all you on this coin forum actually know what your talking about unlike the first forum I tried. So basically you all are awesome and smart I'm glad to choose this forum now that I've been able to speak to some of you! Yes I just want to be 1000% sure for sure. And I am willing to travel to let someone see it but it would have to be planned out for sure. Thanks

 

Here's some pics in sunlight from the other day

 

Yes pu could be right I thought that myself but I've also seen other coins that are silver and have that orangish toning but yea I definitely thought it looked nickel on the outside compared to silver. I tried the paper towel test and really couldn't see anything but a light orange through it.

 

And at least you all understand about coins cause the last forum told me to break the case open and find out but if it's really what it is I don't want to take it out ya know?

 

Here's reverse

 

Hmm the last forum you posted this coin in gave you basically the same answers as this one.

There are A LOT of members here who have accounts on other forums as well...remember this before you go bashing other sites please.

 

Here's some more pics it also could be my loop causing the copper look I never thought about it

 

I'm not bashing all the people just some. I'm not gonna break a case on a ms66 coin that could be worth a lot. Thank you for your input.

 

Also I didn't have as many replies from the first forum as I have this one and also not a single person on the last even admitted that the edge is silver looking. It's hard enough just having people in real life look at the coin PCGS gave me three numbers two didn't work and a third I haven't tried yet. I figured the internet would be better.

 

Thank you that was very interesting for sure.

 

What was the forum I posted on I can't even remember lol I'm new to any kind of forum.

 

I have soooooooooooooo many Copper/Nickel coins that I was convinced were silver.

 

Ehhhhh... @Fred Weinberg does, but don't ever trust me.

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood, Jesse!

If you can make it to the FUN Show the first week of January, 2018, it is the biggest show in the US with about 1,500 dealers in attendance.

Honestly, if you have what you think you have, breaking it out would be a no big, because of what it would be worth. BTW, welcome to CoinTalk...I'm originally from Prestonsburg, KY Mind telling what your mom paid?

 

Does anybody else see anything strange with the reeding? Very small, shallow grooves with very wide, flat high points. Not like the reeding on normal MS condition coins. Does anybody know if this is a characteristic of SMS coins?

Could the ridges shown in the pics be part of the insert used to hold the coin in place? From all if the pics (BTW: nice job providing them), it looks like the distance between the rim and the "reeding" may be thicker than that on a normal coin, but I can't say for certain

@Jesse Gillispie , You said you don't want to crack it out. Why not? If you have a 1965 silver dime, it's valuable.. If you really believe it's silver, then weighing it and getting accurate pics of the edge is the way to prove it. Remember, when you think you have an extraordinary error, you need to provide extraordinary proof. Basically, by cracking it out, you're betting $30-40 (cost to get it reslabbed) versus a heck of a lot more if you found a rare error.

I think it's clear from this thread nobody can say for certain whether you have something or not, but the odds are really stacked against it. Until you do one of the following a) weigh it and take pics of the edge, b) take it to a coin show with knowledgable error dealers, or c) send it back to a TPG, your just spinning your wheels.

 

Are there any known silver 1965 dimes or quarters for that matter ?

Also you might want to check to see if those metal checking "electronic guns" that jewelers and some coin dealers have that can even read the coin through plastic. They can give you the percentage of silver the coin has.
Are they called "spectrometers" ?
