We recently purchased a coin collection locally and this dime was in the mix. They had it in a 2x2 with no writing on it or anything. It is much smaller than a typical dime as you can see from the pictures. I am assuming that it has been exposed or soaked in some kind of acid. But, I am not for real sure. I figured it being so thin there is no way it could have ever been stamped from the mint this way and still have all the details as it does. Anyways please comment on what you think. Thanks!

Maybe thats the size of one with no second layer of metal..I have no idea...Cool though.
Yes, I have seen the salt water and wave action do this and sometimes makes these clad coins look rare.:4leafclover: I can't spend them either due to size. They will jam up a soda machine or phone booth pay phone though.
