The slab above is correct. Note the weakness of the strike, because of the thin dime stock stock material. The reverse will be the same:

Note the metal started moving in the center of the design, but not enough metal to form the outer devices and the rims. That is the clue that the planchet thickness was not correct.

CoopHome: How can you tell if a planchet is too thin? strike weakness will be present.

Since I got my new scale, I got to weigh several coins.

So consistent with all the other data of this error, this error coin of mine weighs 4.28g according to the scale.

So as per the weight, seem to be a very tinny planchet.
