It looks like someone found this dime metal detecting.

Hi, Dottie!

I think you should chalk this one up to environmental damage. The upset rim and all of the devices are too well formed. You would think that if it was missing both clad layers that some of the devices would be weakly struck. I think it is PMD.

Chris

 

It could be a mint error where the clad layer is missing; that sometimes happens

 

One layer yes, but this is copperplated
on both sides.

Weigh it, and I'll bet it's well within
tolerance for a normal clad dime;
maybe .1 to .3 grams more due to
the plating,

 

Rarely is it missing both sides. The strike would be weak.

Chris

 

True. And it is strange that there is also heavy scratches and dents in the coin.

 

Hey Dottie, you just may have something there, but not why you think! Do you realize how few 2009 dimes of ANY sort are out there "in the wild"? Try to find another one. Rumor has it a huge portion of them went into circulation in Puerto Rico. I wonder how many blew away.

 

Come on, Kurt! It has already been established that you are not a very good comedian, and now you are exhibiting poor judgement in peddling bad information to a newcomer to the hobby. Please put it to rest.

Chris

 

Chris, I have never yet found even one example of a 2009-P dime in circulation, and I have checked every dime I've received in change for the last 8+ years. Keep in mind I just recently moved 55 miles west of where I did previously, and that was 55 miles west of the Philly Mint. The maximum irony of the OP's picture is the dime looks like it was a Satin one from a Mint Set.

 

They have been picking up a bit for me in the coin rolls I search. Searching for them right now in PR certainly would be an almost impossible endeavor. Still lacking power at a to high of a percentage. I will stop there.

 

What you lose to the wind in the past tense, is what you gain with the metal detector at the beaches in the future tense.

 

Yeah, but it would be nice to have power. How much detecting would you be doing with no power for months after months.
I need a snickers.

 

I'm not questioning the first part of your comment. It is this part I object to..........

Chris

 

Well crap Chris, I like that reply. I wonder how long Kurt would make it with no power. Of course he has one of those hats that people buy at a good mark up.

One of those storms was headed your way, landed and I guess you were a fool to think about water, food, and basic services....instead of what you may be able to pick up on the beach.

 

Well Kurt, do a favor and move another 55 miles west from your last move. Why would you leave that excellent area of PA. Are the locals getting tired of promises? Coal is back! lol and steel is the way, but more layoffs today there.
I need a snickers.

 

I had to give up the Snickers. I was gaining too much weight!

Chris

 

I gained all the weight and lose it now or else. I really need a snickers. All is cool but dang, @V. Kurt Bellman. Why should so many of those US citizens still be without power? Oh I got it, they should go metal detect.
Kurt, pick a finger? Can one be called a vagina or penis. Sorry mods., perfectly acceptable language.
