Copperthumb New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 4:26 pm here's another interesting find from going through my huge Penny stash recently, a rusty copper colored 1970 D dimeit has a Dusty dry feel and seems slightly thinner than a typical dime, sure enough upon weighing it ,it is 2.03 nearly a quarter gram light, none of the normal dimes I weighed were any less than 2.23,the reverse also appears to be a very weak strikea consistent with a missing clad specimen. so what I'm looking to know is would environmental corrosion account for this weight loss, or is it a genuine specimen that escaped from the mint like that?

Copperthumb New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 03/15/2019 4:42 pm it's no surprise this ended up mixed in with all my pennies, almost disregarded it as an ugly old junk coin until I started reading about these dimes missing clad and being possibly rare and valuable, seems to be consistent with a missing clad specimen but I'd like the opinion of a more well-trained eye Edited by Copperthumb 03/15/2019 4:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
