Question
found two dimes in a roll of dime that were stamped together.only the centers of dimes are together,worth anything?

Answer
Hello, Richard, I'm not sure I can picture what you have.  Is it possible that you have two dimes that were glued together?  If that's the case, there is no extra value.  If this is a mistake made at the mint, then yes, there would be extra value. I think that you would need to show the piece to an expert, perhaps at a coin show or a coin shop.  Try going to www.google.com and doing a search for coin shop and your city or coin show and your city and see what comes up.  Hope this helped, Jim Lawniczak
