[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 101345, member: 669"]First of all, [img]http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/schilder/142.gif[/img] to CoinTalk. Beginning in 1965 there hasn't been any silver in a Philadelphia or Denver US dime. They now consist of a copper center between two layers of copper-nickle, and what the others are referring to is the situation where the roll of metal from which the coin blanks ("planchets") are punched is lacking a layer. While they are not truly common, coins with one missing clad layer are far more likely to occur than ones with both outside layers missing, so if that is in fact what you have, it could have significant value.
