Not a good link.
Not a broad strike, but an off center strike. A really nice one, too. Congratulations on your find.
Without the pressure of the dies, the planchet cannot be forced into the collar die that makes the reeds.
I believe that 2.25 grams is within mint tolerance. My thought about machining is out the window.
Coin World has a 2/2/2013 article by Mike Diamond about reeded weakly struck dime. Here's the link....
It should weigh 2.268 grams. I'm wondering if it wasn't machined and then carried around in a pocketful of change to wear off the machine lines...
Yours is 1965 or later. That's the best anyone can do in dating it.
See post number 2.
Yes. Pick up a copy of this book. It's updated every year. [IMG]
It looks like it was pressed into one of those lucky penny rings. It has also suffered circulation wear and tear during its life.
It's not worth the grading fees.
Apparently you didn't fully comprehend what you read. Your coin is not red, it's brown, and your coin does not come anywhere close to 65.
The 6 doesn't look right to me. Let's wait for the opinions of others, though.
Show us yours first.
They are both keepers. Nice finds. The off-center strike has a full date. That's a good thing. It's worth $10 to $15.
Well, I was fooled. That's why I buy only from reputable and trusted sources.
A pawn shop might not give you even $10 for it. Take it to a coin shop where thay deal in precious metals. There you might get about $15.
It has a face value of $1. It's silver content is worth $16.65. You don't want to use it as spending cash.
It's burnished, not proof.
Is the edge lettered or reeded?
Separate names with a comma.
