    That's cool. What's the diameter and thickness?

    Size of a nickel minus clip fits almost perfect however thinner than a dime

    Very nice off center on a straight end clip.

  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭✭✭

    E o C has it right, as always.

    It's not scrap, because it's less than a 50% clip.

    Doesn't look silver in the photos, but the OP
    has it in-hand. OC on a Straight End Clip like
    this is much much scarcer on a silver coin.

    It being nickel-size and thinner than a dime could be due to the strike, which would expand the metal outward during the absence or partial-presence of the collar.

    If that is the case, and it wan't struck on some non-regular planchet stock, then @ErrorsOnCoins is correct.

  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭✭✭

    So based on the weight, you're saying
    it's on a Nickel Planchet???

    If it were on a nickel, the clip would have
    to be about 45% in size, which this isn't.

    Does the coin look silver, or nickel?

    Looks silver, but to heavy for a silver dime planchet ?? I'm lost

    What's up with the weight?

  • FredWeinbergFredWeinberg Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'm a bit confused too.

    It's too high for a silver or clad dime,
    but it doesn't look like a nickel planchet
    to me, based only on the photos.

    Looks more like silver, I'd say it's silver but I dont have a way to test it.

    You can always submit it for certification.

    If it looks silver, are you sure of the weight?
