Good evening, all: My wife pulled this from her change and asked me if it was anything special. I don't think I've ever seen a more dog-tired specimen of clad coinage in my life.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
is the top of the Y in LIBERTY I think.
I believe this coin was corroded first and then got extensive wear. The wear looks pretty good to
me but it's so extreme that I have to suspect it was "encouraged" like being carried as a pocket
piece. Finally is was beaten lightly and scraped before a little more wear.
I'd guess it was a "lucky dime" which the recipient noticed because of the corrosion and was spent
accidently ten or twelve years ago. It had a hard life after being spent.
Look at the distance from the upper part of the 3 from the top of the 7.
Ambro51, the reeding exists but barely so.
