Not much wear on the coin could a layer be missing? Its not shiny in comparison to other dimes produced at the Denver Mint. Would something like this even be worth anything?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 04:48 am 2.27 grams is normal. .09 +/- grams tolerance. Rolled thin stock? What does the reeds look like? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 04:49 am I wonder if it was cleaned with acid, and that accounts for the 0.11 grams difference from standard weight. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 07:10 am Thanks for the pic of the reeds. Looks pretty normal,but maybe a bit thin. Leaning towards roll thin planchet/circulation wear. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 08:53 am Guessing thin planchet. Is the entire coin of uniform thickness? to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

Khryscoins New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 07/05/2019 1:08 pm Yes the whole coin is consistent with the thinness and yes I did try a magnets Even though I see the mixed metal which is why I thought maybe a layer could be missing. Report this Post to the Staff
