We already told you its not what you think and even isn't possible.How can a cent planchet fit into the chamber ment to strike dimes?simple,it can't.

 

Thank you!

 

I think you have it reversed. The OP is claiming a CENT DIE struck a DIME PLANCHET. Even so, it is not what is claimed

 

Normal weight for a cent. As stated you have a counterstamped cent, without seeing it I am assuming it is plated making it look silver.

 

Plated .....

 

I like that cent. Cool

 

Maybe the government got the date wrong.

 

I hope I did it! Still dont know why was it so difficult, end still dont know why would somebody plated end struck one penny.

 

Questions for you.. have you read any of the responses I have given you? Do you understand what I have shared with you? Your Cent is a plated novelty Cent!

Or are you ignoring everything I have shared with you in the hopes that someone will tell you what you want to hear?

Please respond

 

(This) lol.

 

Simply and it’s been said a few times in the replies to this thread. It’s a NOVELTY! They made a lot more than 1 of them, literally thousands of them exist.

 

But he doesn't understand why someone plated it.


I'm done with this thread.

 

That was my point. The company that counter stamped them for the Bicentennial made them unplated and plated in order to increase the sales. A great marketing ploy of the times. I was 22 years so I remember it well.

 

Then why didn't they plate dimes to look like cents? Huh? Why? They woulda made Millions, Jerry! Millions, I tell ya!!!!

 

Isn't it heartwarming in old age to recall that at 22, you remembered things?

 

I was only 12 and my mother was learning to drive a car. I can still drive you to the exact spot where she cut the corner too close and scrapped the hubcap on our new car. That was 55 years ago. Lol

 

It was too costly! Lol

 

Oh the shock! You made me double check how old I am, you meant 45 years ago, I was 14 in 1976
