My boss found this dime in his change. I snapped a photo of it today and while holding it it seemed thinner than a normal dime. The dime in question is a 2006 P mint and it is photographed next to a 2007 P dime for reference. The obverse side of the dime is almost copper colored and seems to be missing the nickel plating. It seems like a nice strike. I'm thinking an unclad planchet error? And if so how much is it worth? Should he get it certified? I've never seen anything like this before. Thanks, Harry
It may indeed be missing the obverse clad layer. You should weigh it. If authentic, it would be about 0.4 grams underweight, i.e., around 1.9 grams.
