Description

1965 Dime on a 90% Silver Planchet
Rare Transitional Alloy Error, AU Details

1965 Roosevelt Dime--Struck on a 90% Silver Planchet--Rim Damage--NCS. AU Details. 2.51 gm. A transitional alloy wrong planchet error, in the same category as the heavily publicized 1943-dated bronze cents, or the 1944-dated zinc-plated steel cents. Briefly circulated, but this principally untoned dime retains ample luster. The reverse border near 8 o'clock has a test cut, presumably made by a finder or dealer unsure of his or her conquest. The Mint struck 1964-dated silver dimes at the same time that 1965 clad dimes were produced, partly to use up remaining stock, partly to meet the demands of commerce, and partly to convince the public that silver coins were not widely hoarded.
