Dearborn Moderator United States 98869 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 2:03 pm Can you provide aa better image of the obverse? a close up and cropped better. But from that I see it just looks like environmental toning. (I can see a silver bit showing at the bottom of the bust and between Liberty and the rim.) Collecting since 1972.

Elvira22 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 2:34 pm Not sure if these help, I don't have the greatest phone camera or lighting, but here are more photos. Not seeing silver when I look at the dime in person, could've been the lighting in the photo. Report this Post to the Staff

Elvira22 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 4:33 pm I just ordered a new scale, I'll get the accurate weight posted sometime tomorrow. Thanks everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98869 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 6:10 pm ok, I'll come back when we have an accurate weight. A nice scale and a scope are crucial tools in coin collecting.

Elvira22 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 6:42 pm Thank you for the advice!!! I just ordered a scope too, I will be going through many more coins and definitely can't rely on my phone camera. I'll post updated pics too when I am able. Report this Post to the Staff

If it was missing one layer, it would weigh in at about 1.9 gs and it wouldn't be struck up as good as it is. I think it's just some kind of staining. Report this Post to the Staff
Elvira22 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 8:08 pm Here's a picture of the edge next to a regular dime while I wait for the scale. See a tiny difference, but not much. Report this Post to the Staff
