I would be a little nervous about that one becuase the strike looks nice and it should be weak. Ask them to weigh it first before you bid, it needs to be significantly underweight. Remember they can be copper plated.

added: oops this one is yours. Weigh it and if it's significantly light I will bid $40 on it.

rottnrog

Could use better pics! Is part of the design missing? It looks like the letters are into the rim.

The early clads were explosion bonded. Charges of dynamite were set off above
and below the strip to aid in bonding the metal. There was more trouble with de-
lamination in the early days but this problem was never really extreme.

Clads missing both layers are not common but such coins can be fairly well struck
sometimes. The outer cladding is very thin and if the dies are positioned a little
close then there will be relatively little effect on strike.

tejon

The strike is weak I am looking at it in person.

tejon

It is also very thin

rottnrog

You really need to get better pictures if you want to get anywhere near max price for it. There are a lot of fake missing clads out there and I can't tell anything from your pictures other than it is a dime!

poptopsRus

You guarantee it genuine with full return policy and you'll get my bid on it.

rottnrog

Mine too!!

poptopsRus

Now I'm going to have to snipe it (once I get word).

tejon

should I take it off and send it to pcgs?

I laugh at most of the "missing clad layers' on sleazeBay because most of them are really damaged coins that have been dug up or soaked in acid and the sellers don't have a clue.
Weights & measurements are important because yours looks a little smaller in diameter than normal so it could possibly be struck on a foreign planchet and could be valuable.
I'm not saying that it is but I would check it out before I dismissed & spent it.
Send Fred Weinberg a link to this thread and he'll tell you for sure. Fred@FredWeinberg.com

If I were you I would find out for sure if itis real or not. If real it would sell for around $100, and with the pics you have up of it, I don't think it will come anywhere close to that in your auction. JMO

It looks like an obvious fake to me.

No Clad?

Tough to tell much from the little picture but it doesn't look right.

Rampage

At least this poster/seller did the right thing and ended this auction early. It was clearly a coin with altered surfaces to have the appearance of being an error. It was a poorly done job, too. Even from the itsy bitsy teeny weeny pictures, you could tell it had clad layers.
