Crazy 1965 Silver Roosevelt!

[fistfulladirt]

I think I've found the holy grail of Roosevelt dimes last nite. It looks like a '63 but is definitely 1965 date. I searched $600 in cwr which gave up one silver. Also, $500 in S/s boxes I found another. Not a great haul by any means.

There was someone in the house to make sure I didn't miss any dirty silver rims.

My first impression looking at the photos is that the dime is plated.

At one point in time the a portion of the rim has been shaved away, no copper layer?

Is it a '63 that they tried to make into a '65?

Yep I've seen a couple like this- just some jokesters or something I guess but its a 63

I've also had at least one with a mangled date (a '63 mangled to look like a '65).

Well, if it were a '63 I might feel better...

Off topic, but sometimes when I sort, my cat is upset that she isn't getting attention and she'll sit right in the middle of my sorting.

These two cats must be related

Actually I'm more of a bird person (birds - I like to eat 'em), and this is our "house" cat.

Thats what i thought at first too...almost like it was plated after the damage....Hope its not thou

haha so similar to my cat, he sits on my pile of rolls and swats and my hands everytime I go to grab one. Then after I build up a decent pile of wrappers he starts going nuts and rolls in them and spreads them all around the house
