  1. Seems “You Dimed me out” would be an after effect of the saying: “Drop a dime on someone” as in calling the cops. Same as “Ratting” on someone. I am learning a lot about history in this coin collecting hobby, or is it an “obsession?” Does “I need that coin” ever end?
  2. Are you saying it’s French for Dime?
  3. How did the word “Disme” come about? Is this the evolutionary beginning of the word “Dime?”
  4. Thank you for your reply. I figured if I had it graded it would be noted as “holed.” It’s kinda like a hole in a bucket, not much good unless you’re using it for drip irrigation. 🤣
  5. I have an 1872 Shield nickel that is a DDO. However, someone (probably a jeweler) drilled a hole in it, (MTL to make a “Charm” bracelet.) I have noticed no listing for a DDO on the NGC Priceguide. My question is not if, but how much does this ‘hole’ detract from grading? ‘Charming’ question eh?
