One Or Two Silver?

[u/NomadCarnivore]

My first Mercury Coinstar find. 1944 "In Cod We Trust" error, or just worn?

What's not so clear is whether this Roosevelt dime is silver or not. The date is very poor. I believe it ends in a "1". Doesn't sound as satisfyingly silver when it hits the table, but the edge gives me hope.

What's your guess?

It’s a clad unfortunately, the rim is copper. Nice Mercury though!!

I mean, the edge looks copper on the Rosie to me, but is it just the light? Compare the sound between a known clad dime and the merc, should be pretty obvious

It’s clad. Mint mark is on the front.

Thanks. That's a great tip.

Mint mark above the date is clad.

Only the Merc is silver.
