<p>[QUOTE=&quot;This_is_wes, post: 3510373, member: 102356&quot;]I’m having a hard time seeing the difference. Including more photos. </p><p>Layers appear the same as other dimes. What I see is a thin copper/nickel layer, copper core, and another thicker copper/nickel layer. The thicker outer layer is overlapping the core in the clipped area. I believe this is due to whatever force transferred the marking. </p><p><br /></p><p>Comparing the reeding to a regular strike I see broad valleys and narrow ridges, as false reeding is described. If false reeding is possible by a newly-struck dime rolling and squeezing against an unstruck planchet, then wouldn’t this be possible? If not what does actual false reeding look like? I haven’t been able to find any examples. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, found a raised button while inspecting further. Looks similar to those found on the reverse of regular strikes. The location doesn’t seem to help much though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
