Early in the morning at opening time of my local bank I called and asked if they had any customer wrapped rolls of dimes. So I put $100 on hold and quickly went there to obtain the amount. So guess what I got? Bank wrapped rolls? So I just quickly scanned for silver. I didn't open any of the rolls but I saw a few interested sides. One of them was an error dime. The error is known as a Half Collar. Once I scanned all the rolls I went to another bank and asked if they had any costumer wrapped rolls of dimes again. So guess what I got? Bank wrapped rolls . But although there was no silver out of $200 in dimes. I found a few keepers. I found another half collar error dime. I also found the low mintage year of 2009 D and 2009 P dimes. One of each. But I have so much compensation for no silver. It is a 1985 P dime. It appears to be struck on a copper planchet and I see no sign of the typical "silver/clad" look of a dime. It looks like copper. I did the drop test numerous times with a copper penny, zinc penny, and with many dimes. All of the tests I have completed, gave me the conclusion of it being a copper planchet due to the copper ring. I don't have a scale so I cant weigh it but there is something very interesting. The dime is 2 to 3 times thicker than a normal sized dime and is slightly larger in length than a normal dime. I am going to get this authenticated by a error expert in my area on Monday.
