1991 d dime proof or silver or error?

Can anyone please tell me why this 1991 d dime has an all silver edge and gem proof finish please?

It doesn't have a proof finish. They didn't make silver dimes in Denver in 1991. Sometimes when the blank is punched out of the roll, the clad layer will cover the entire edge.

Plated. You can really tell on the reverse. It looks like it was plated over a dirty coin. The fields don’t look right at all! IMO

 

In that condition it's worth face value. It's not a proof.

 

+1 for plated.

 

Thanks man...I didn't think of that but yes it looks plated to me also thanks...so what someone just plated it themselves u think?

 

I was hoping silver or and error of course but if people can plate them then that's probably what it is thank you all....just the edge looks identical to all my silvers so I wasnt sure you no

 

So what people plate them at home or wherever?

 

Most are school experience, a coin is plated in a high school science project or program. It's easy and it gets the point across to the students.

 

I read that another member said the he seen a guy using coins to make sure the “chemicals “ are right for plating other objects also. When you realize there sooo many way to plate a coin. Even jewelry!! No telling

 

Exactly!

 

Thanks bro
