aperwin22 New Member United States 30 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 2:21 pm Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to identify the 1967 10 cent mackerel dime between the .800 and .500 silver types? Is it just a matter of different weight? or is there another way to tell which dime you have? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 3:11 pm I just checked coinsandcanada.com and the weights are the same. Maybe if you did the tissue test the 80% would show as brighter than the 50%? Other than that idea,an XRF test. John1 Edited by John1 01/14/2019 3:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
