I have other silver coins and I feel like this might be one, too!

Looks like the date is 2015, and a Coinstar kicked it out. You can see it is worn and the ridge looks off. Sure feels like a silver coin!!

Further reading is advising that it may be a slot or dryer dime?

Hi thecrazyone,

Unfortunately, just a regular clad dime that's seen better days. The easiest way to spot recent silver coins is they are always proofs, and will have an "S" mint mark. From there, you can give the edge a glance for the ole copper sammich insides (you can see them on the dime you have), or if needed you can compare the weight to a known clad coin with similar wear.
