    I guess the OP never sent the coin in for verification, which is too bad because it is known that the US Mint struck some 42 million dimes for Canada in 1969, using nickel planchets. It's not unreasonable to expect that at least one of those planchets (his) made it into the US Dime production. There are US Cent errors struck on those planchets.

    I never knew of the US mint sub-contracting for Canada, but I do no they did so for many other coutnries.

    Should be lots of errors on weird planchets, both ways.

    a one in a million thing exists when striking many millions.....it is after all factory work done by Gov't workers that don't give a feces....

    There's a lot of contradictory info in that thread. He seems content to accept one thing, but evidence supports other stuff. After reading the whole thing, it seems as though there is no answer. I'm suprised jello wouldn't be jumping on authenticating it, unless he did find out it was nothing special and just didn't update the thread (sparing a lot of heartache for us all...).

    Conder101,


    Now that I'm sober, I recognize that your words never had much truth.

    Example:
    With energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, a non-destructive technology, is possible to finalize with a decent analysis of something in particular. Here is a veridical example of an analysis effectuated upon 14k gold:
    Au 59.013%​
    Cu 20.464%​
    Ni 11.162%​
    Zn 7.710%​
    Os 0.991%​
    Br 0.660%​
    ------------​
    100 %​
    Here are words from a company that manufactures X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometers: "the XLt Series handheld XRF spectrometer provides laboratory quality of results, high speed multielement analysis of samples of any shape and dimension without using special sample preparation technique."

    Used to have a lot of truth. I didn't know they now had handheld x-Ray Flourescence spectrometers. Used to be these were very expensive large immobile pieces of equipment, so "quick" was NOT possible.

    Sorry to dig up an old thread. But I think I may have found a silver 1969 Silver Dime. Just wondering if anyone has heard of this other than the instance in this thread?

    It could just be wear. Or it could be because of a grease filled die.
    No extra value.

    Sorry but it's a 1966 and it looks in good shape for it to look worse out.

    Sorry. No extra value. What you are seeing is very common.

    I can clearly see the letters 'WE' on your 1966 dime. Those letters are worn, just like the letters 'IN' are worn.

    FYI, you really should start your own thread if you want more opinions. This thread is 10 years old, and a totally different subject.

    You'd be better off spending it or redeeming it at your local Coinstar machine, @Francisco Martinez.
