It is still a Mis aligned die to begin with. so it makes you think

 

I can see the misaligned die, but that's a very common occurrence on quarters, so I'm wondering what specifically that has to do with this coin.

 

Next im going to cut this 1981 copper dime in half to see if its all copper or not it shines like gold in the sunlight the devices pop out and become real shiny but it looks like this on the scan.

 

Wire Cutters...does this match yours?

 

We need a good ref to implements of destruction

 

Partial collar! What is this now? Name a type of error? Lol!

 

It's close but wire cutter have such strong striations on the tool i would say they look similar but still not the same.

The cuts in UNITED STATES were done with ''Wire cutters'' hmmm

does the mint have wire cutters?

 

There is 360 ways to look at a coin and probably as many plains. Times that times two = coins can talk.
Here's 1 2 3 4 ways to look at this one.

Anyone else want to contribute a sample? It will only cost you 25 cents. I will send you two dollars if you use one of the many common mis aligned die 1999 Delaware coins you may or may not have.

 

What about this dime It weighs the same as dimes with similar years. I shines very brilliantly in the sunlight all the words jump out clear as day when the light hits it rights. It has an brilliantg luster all around when you twist it around in a good light source. I have had it tested on a lazer spectrometer the metal content came out to be the exact same as the copper content that the book says should be in the core of a dime.

so what do you think is it plated? Maybe acid dipped if so would that change the weight of the dame even a little?? could it be off metal or was it made from the end or a poorly cladded sheet of coin stock?

Is there any experts that would advise me how to find out for sure or should i just cut it in half?

 

cut it into four pieces , the dime is not worth anything because it has been recovered from a trash bin where folks burn their paper trash.

 

Maybe I should clean it first?

 

that would be a good idea if you want to spend it. when clad coins have been in a fire this crusty brown copper looking color is hard to get off. it almost takes something rough like say sandpaper. the coin will clean back up to it's nickel color after a lot of cleaning.

 

Can you show me some others or give me a link to some other cladded coins like this? That might Help..

 

maybe roast one up yourself?

 

my bad 1958 is when they stopped making Wheat Cent's not when they were changing metal type!
