2003 dime on copper planchet??

It has been almost 48 hours since @Pennys2pesos was last seen on these forums. Maybe she works for the fire department or the police department. Yeah, right!

I think your $2 notes are safe, Fred!

Found one tonight my self 2003 D but mine weight 2.6 wild but not the size of a penny

 

Just environmental damage. Clad layer was affected by the elements.

 

You don't think it's an example of the extremely rare, well, actually not all that rare around here Blurred Obverse/Blurred Reverse error?

 

Right

 

Here are some fine examples from my metal detecting adventures
Clad coins and even nickels are composed of Cupro-Nickel.

 

The mint also stopped using copper planchets in 1982 more that 20 years before the OP's coin was struck. They use zinc planchets with copper plating.

 

Too bad it is environmentally damaged, otherwise it would be a nice thick planchet error being at leat .3 grams overweight.

 

Soak it in ATF. Dextron III is good

 

Everyone is wrong that says a de cannot be struck because it won't fit in the chamber.

 

damage,corrosion most likely its been underwater for quite some time.

 

That's a corroded Cent.. So who is wrong now?

You!

And.. Its a larger blank planchet that won't fit into a smaller chamber.. What the heck is a de?

 

Ok, so everyone is wrong because you're the expert. Put a normal cent down and lay the dime on top of it. You will see the cent is larger, thus the cent cannot fit in side the dime collar. If you come here to learn then except what the people with knowledge tell you.

 

Maybe the OP is waiting for one person to side with her and magically @Randy Segura pops up. I guess everyone can now sleep soundly knowing that they have been properly schooled by an expert.

 

Hey, thanks for dropping by and letting us know!

 

Let him learn the HARD way. He refuses to listen and is basing his "opinion" on the "opinion" of a LCS who probably has no clue about errors. As for him understanding, not likely. Thanks for you expertise in these matters paddyman

Maybe it's because they do.

 

Gee Whiz, I wish I was as smart as you. I could open my own CT and be the only smart "A.." A site of 1...
