1995 Wrong Planchet Error Dime
Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2018 5:51 pm
Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum and I must confess that this coin is the only reason I joined. I found this coin in pocket change a few years ago and I’ve held on to it for some time. From what I can deduce, the coin is either a fake dime or a wrong planchet error coin. Here are the specifications of the dime and photos. Please tell me what you think. What is the grade and approximate value the coin is worth?
Specifications:
1995 Canadian Dime
Diameter: 17.5-18mm depending on which way the coin is rotated.
Thickness: 1-1.5mm
Magnetic: No
Weight: 2.30 grams
Reeding is present on 50% of the edge.
There are lines radiating towards the edge of the coin on the obverse side from the letters R,E,I,N,A.
I believe that this may be the planchet for a foreign currency or the center of a toonie.
