    Hey everyone I have a weird coin that is boggling my mind. I scored a bunch of silver dimes from my local bank. While I was sorting them by looking at silver edges when I came across a 1967 Roosevelt dime but it has a silver edge. Has anybody seen this before?? I will attach all photos I took it doesn’t weigh like a silver dime so it’s confusing me.


    Thank you

    It's a Clad dime. Nothing more. I'm sure of it. :)

    Sometimes, during manufacture, the clad layers obscure or cover up the edge. It happens often enough to not be a valuable characteristic…imo…Spark

    A dull blanking die can pull the clad layer completely across the edge of a blank and cover up the copper that usually shows.

    I would try the tissue test. It also could be plated, but the tones even look silver.

    In the second pic, you can see a little copper here and there shining thru. Clad dime.

    I thought I saw the same, but the same tones are on the coin, could be the lighting.
