coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 7:47 pm Is the weight correct? To be missing a clad, it should be a bit lighter. The weakness is what you would expect to see on a coin missing a clad. Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3334 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 8:02 pm coop - I gave information in the OP on what the expected weight of a dime missing one clad layer should be. This coin is within tolerance of that expectation. Dime Clad layer weight = 0.41 g +/- 0.07 g which is not information I mentioned because I thought it would be easy enough to calculate from what I gave - if anyone was interested.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/08/2019 8:10 pm Ok. I thought you were saying the weight was slightly higher than a normal coin. I mis-read. Report this Post to the Staff
