[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 334191, member: 7957"]I am far from a coinage expert, but from what I can see: 1. All lettering appear to be raised. Therefore, it cannot be a squeeze job. 2. The dime was struck first. Its details have been flattened by the cent strike. Of this, I am virtually positive. 3. It appears to me that there is not enough metal to fill the dies for the cent strike. This seems almost obvious when compared to the eBay example. If nothing else, there are almost no rims on the coin I r4ealize that the odds are remote, but what about a foreign planchet struck as a dime and then a cent? One quick was to check this would be to weigh it -on an accurate scale. Take it to a jewer if you do not have anything available to weigh it.[/QUOTE]
