<p>[QUOTE="Tired-of-Cards, post: 2088011, member: 43151"]Hi Everyone! I rejoin you all after a long time away, with a very exciting find! I was given this coin at no cost, from the owner of a local pawn shop. He knew nothing about it. I had to point out to him that it was 90% Silver!!! He had to confirm by doing some test, where he rubbed the edge of the coin on a black pad, and then applied a drop of some solution onto the mark...He confirmed it was Silver. </p><p> My guess, is that a silver dime blank, was accidentally struck in a Nickel planchett. It is in good condition, the size and weight of a Dime, very thin on one side, thicker on the other, and no 'Dime' ridges on the edges. Also, it has toning(telling me it is old), and appears to be from the sixties(guessing from experience searching boxes of Nickels.) </p><p> Looking for expert opinions of what this may be, and may be worth. Thanks as always, I appreciate your help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
