1964 Dime Pattern - RB-2000, INCO
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
RB-2000 is a 1964 dime pattern from the International Nickel Company experimental series. Late in the summer of 1964 INCO replaced its TEST PIECE design with Gilroy Roberts's portrait of Paul D. Merica, a former president of the company, paired with a view of the laboratory named for him; the pieces carry the date 1964. USPatterns.com describes the dime-size pieces with this design, issued in sets with the other two sizes. Pollock records the 1964 Merica dime in 50% nickel and 50% copper, in 95% nickel and 5% silicon on a permalloy core, and in a 96.8% nickel alloy, each with plain or reeded edge (Pollock-5333 to Pollock-5338); the sources read do not say which of these this Burdette number is. NGC lists it as 1964 INCO RB-2000 10C; the RB number is Burdette's, from Private Pattern and Related Pieces: International Nickel & Gould Incorporated (2019).
