Looks kind of fake, but I'm no expert.

 

noooooooooooooooooooo!

 

how about a color picture?

 

I think that is in color

 

This is like dumping a bucket of blood into a pool of sharks.......Redwin is probably going to hit the "repy" button within the next 10 min....

 

The Indian head design appears to be "suspect" to me. Possibly struck with counterfeit dies? hard to say for sure without seeing it in hand. The design just looks off.

 

I'd hang on to it hunter. Penny on dimes can fetch asking prices of 7-10 mill.

 

But I'd hold out.

 

Thanks guys

Tomorrow i have an appointement with a specialist in Montreal, I'll let you know.

 

It looks fake to me IMHO, but I guarentee you will see a penny/ dime that is real in just a little bit

 

oh, then very funky

 

Do you know the weight of the coin?

 

the weigh : 2.25gm

 

the weigh : 2.25gm

 

I'm no expert, but I think that's too light to be an IHC or a silver dime. Not sure though...

 

An 1878 dime would weigh 2.5 grams, take away a little for wear....

Wait a minute! Don't we have the worlds foremost expert on penny on dimes here on CT?

 

Please tell me I didn't see this. Please.

 

looks Like it's got signs of being a cast copy some of the lines of the shield have merged. And bumps on the surface make me think that. Has the edge got flat spots?
