It's been raining down here in Louisiana, I've been pretty bored, so I'm looking through my old clad and this dime looks a little different. I can't see a date on it and it's a little smaller than the other clad dime. The edges are also shiny. IMG_0429.JPG IMG_0425.JPG IMG_0427.JPG upload1496187126.969366.jpg What do you think?

I'm leaning towards clad on this one.... only one way to tell for sure...
Cut the biotch in half.
If anything, it'll give you something to do.:dontknow:

Actually that makes perfect sense at this moment in time

I'd start with a drop test. Compare it with a known silver dime and a clad dime by dropping them on a hard surface and listening to the sound they make. If you plan on detecting a lot in the future, you may want to invest in an acid test kit. They're fairly cheap on Ebay. The kit helps a lot with jewelry finds.

Yeah I acid tested it. It's clad.
