    Hey now, that 1968 could have been bent right at the mint, erroneously. image

    What really happened to the coin is that in the late 60s or early 70s it was filed down to use in a payphone. I have found several similar examples in roll searching. It was just one of the ways people screwed Ma Bell.

    I have my eye on the bent 1968 Lincoln cent. There's no way that could've happened anywhere but the mint!!

    You could tear a 1/2" strip off of a phone book page, fold it in half lengthwise to a 1/4" wide strip, thread it down the dime slot of those big old gravity fed public phones and trip the switch that gave you a dial tone. Not that I'd know.

    It's not only on a silver dime blank but it's brown silver to boot. image

    Back in the 80's sometimes I would find NZ or Australian 1-cent coins in dime rolls - also perfect for slugging payphones.

    Hate to admit this but my father had a great workshop and we could turn out pennie dimes at about 4 an hour. We used them at the local swimming pool to buy frozen ice creams for a "dime". Circa 1955.
