All common, ejection or mechanical doubling Not considered an error; part of the minting process. Please remember that doubled design elements...
It's polished to begin with, and there is no S or anything else there........ Another example of numismatic pareidolia
Nice chips on the face - Not worth much, but interesting, and a good example of what can happen to dies.......and the coins they produce.
Looks polished, and it does not look like a Proof Dime at all.
It's not dated 1882 - it's clearly 1992, but the '8' is flattened a bit, or there might be a die chip in the date, but it was NOT minted in 1882,...
Would love to be able to see the edge of the coin. I've handled four 'Clad Nickels' (most are 1987), and this one doesn't look like them.......
Every thing you see as 'different' or as an error on the dime all occurred after the coin was in circulation.
Not partially plated. Stained/fingerprinted, with a few copper plating bubbles.
It's 'enviornmentally' damaged on the surfaces. What you see occurred on the coin after it was in circulation. It did not leave the US Mint...
Skip, sorry that my Icon is whizzed!
Sounds like the "I" is missing due to filled die. This is a very common occurrence, and adds no premium to the coin, imo. (FYI - the Missing 4...

It's been put against a wire brush machine. That's what they look like after the coin has been pushed against a wire brush 'buffing wheel'.
No too
The general rule is that: If the coin is bright and shiny, it's been re-plated If the coin is dark, dull and grey, it's been de-plated. A...
The weight of the copper plating is negligible.
Agree with VKB - although the photo isn't the best, it doesn't have the right surface look, and it is too shiny, to be on an unplated zinc planchet,

Aside from it not being Chocolate Mint, I don't see anything wrong with the Mint. I see some bag marks/contact marks on the coin's surface. If...
A little flaking, probably from when the blank became a planchet, going thru the upset mill.
