Found this in change and it piqued my interest. Compared to other dimes, the devices are not quite as sharp.

    isn't spooning tough on clad coins?

    but it looks like spooning or something similar.

    I'm with the spooned crowd.

    Put me down for spooning, brother. Did a lot of that back in the military.

    That coin took a tumble in a clothes dryer, going round and round flattening out the rim. A spooned coin will have little dings on the edge from the tapping of the spoon (unless it has been finished into a ring). Spooning a clad dime will result in a clad bead and a sore forefinger and thumb.

    Yep, I have one just like it that came out of the clothes dryer.

    Forgive my ignorance, but what is the purpose of "spooning" a coin like this?
