I AM NOT clicking on his you tube video link. It appears that his only intention is to increase the number of views on his videos. If this is...
I agree. Maybe they were just trying to get rid of die damage/tooling marks. I also don't think it looks like a RPM or OMM
It looks like someone got creative after it left the mint. Not a Clip
You're right, it's a lamination error
May not worth much, but I would keep it and put in a 2x2 based on the condition.
NO! Nice idea, but you made a few errors in your initial assumptions. Clad dimes are made from a 3 layer "sandwich". The outside layers are...
@Willysilver . Once again, there is no way on God's green earth we can tell from your pics. If you read post #88 on the link @Clawcoins posted...

In this case, the weight doesn't matter. It is obvious to any experienced collector that it's a fake. It isn't even close to looking like an...
As others have said, it isn't worth much to regular collector, but it's really cool that it came from your grandmother. I have coins that I got...
There could be numerous reasons why it looks that way, but regardless of what happened, it occurred after it left the mint 51 years ago. It is...

Welcome to CT. I usually recommend getting a redbook, but you have an eclectic mix and probably already have one anyway. Best thing to do is...
There are 3 types of collectors * Those that bought fakes * Those that will buy fakes * And those that bought fakes, but don't realize it. I...
It's whatever you want it to be. I would call it an almost-almost fancy serial number because it still needs a couple more 7s to be an Almost...
