coinfox1 Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 05/14/2014 3:02 pm Hello. I have an interesting dime here. Is this copper coated? I read a post by Mike Diamond on a similar colored dime and it looks like that one. He said on copper copper errors will weigh the same as a normal dime because the coating of copper is so thin. I haven't weighed this one yet. What are your thoughts? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
