Hi, I was wondering about my 1969 D Roosevelt dime that has a blank back. Where would I go to find info on it. Or is there any collectors that have info on it.
There is no nickel cladding on the blank side, I guess from the color, is that so?
it has been ground or sanded down to bare copper alloy isn't it?
This is how one makes a two-headed coin, but in this case the job is only half done.

If the nickel cladding is on the flat back, it is indeed a one sided coin.
better pictures would be helpful, the picture in your first post looks like yellow metal, which is why I ask.
It can happen that two planchets enter the die stuck together, or a planchet gets stuck on to one of the dies. that is a called a capped die.
This could be a valuable coin, like this one. you should have a dealer look at it and maybe have it authenticated.

I would check the weight, it appears to be post mint damage, i.e. the reverse has been ground off and polished. I suspect it was half of a "magician's coin."
