Is this genuine?

Meow thinks it is environmental damage. Would it not be more penny like in color if the clad layer is missing? And on your dime the high spots don't have the same color.

That's because light is hitting the surface,I see no environmental dmg on this coin besides natural patina in my personal opinion

 

@MeowtheKitty

 

Thx for all the opinions by the way. It's not looking good for me,lol

 

Light hitting the surface has nothing to do with it, and some planchets just happen to be rolled slightly thinner (or slightly thicker) than others.

Here is my Kennedy missing the clad layer that @furryfrog02 asked me to show you. I'm sure you've seen it before.

Do you see any light-colored surfaces on it?

Yep,right where the light reflects off if it,lol.
I'll just toss it,even if it were real I couldnt convince anyone here of that

 

@cpm9ball Nice coin tho,you buy it already slabbed?

 

The clad layer is a sheetbof foil. As the blanks are punched out, it will be pulled over the edge. It isn't the same around the edge because of the burring that occurs. Sometimes you can't even see it in areas.

 

I wouldn't toss it if it was mine. IMO it's not missing a clad layer as it looks nothing like the coin shown by @cpm9ball or any of the missing clad layer coins frequently shown by @paddyman98. Your coin looks like it's toned because the reddish color is on both sides.

 

hey, it might be one of those urinal coins!

 

Went looking for the recent post, found this in the archives. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/man-hides-in-bathroom-drinks-boys-urine.14215/

 

here it is....https://www.cointalk.com/threads/pee-results-for-now-anyways.350432/page-3#post-3910220

 

Smh.

 

I'm gonna slap some ketchup on it and see what's rly goin on,lol

 

That thread is so old not even the linked webpage exists. I can't believe the Mods would even have allowed that thread it to even still exist.

 

I found it in a $100 Mixed P&D bag. The Mint released these bags in 2004 and sold them for $135. So, I paid 68c for the coin. NGC slabbed it as one of my membership "freebies".

Later date, lower relief, lower pressure strike needed to bring up the lower relief and thus the rims aren't as high.

Environmental damage.

 

Ok,welp,thats that,I appreciate all the info and I value everyone's opinion,thanks

 

Sorry, but your dime is stained/etc.
(aka: environmentally damaged surfaces)

It is not missing the outer clad layer.


It weighs close to a normal clad dime,
so how could it be missing one of the outer
clad layers?


An outer clad layer dime weights 1.9 grains.
Subtract that from the normal weight of a dime.

 

Typo? I come up with 5.8 grains.
