kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 09:56 am I'm particularly interested in the coin's diameter (use metric measurements). I'm just trying to determine if it was a "no collar" strike. Report this Post to the Staff

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 11:43 am Worth getting an accurate weight on this one! Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5674 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 12:03 pm to CCF! Quote: get a scale that goes to 0.001 grams A scale accurate to 0.01 g is sufficient. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74533 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 12:15 pm Definitely PSD. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6535 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 12:30 pm I have this pocket scale from Amazon. $11, free Prime shipping, works great. Accuracy to 0.01g. I think John accidentally added another 0 in there. 0.01g is 0.2% the mass of a nickel, which is far within Mint tolerances. https://www.amazon.com/Weigh-Gram-D...L25R4J85HZ5H Report this Post to the Staff
allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 12:48 pm Looks like someone wanted a dime diameter to use in a vending machine. I have three and I keep them. Regards and welcome to coin collecting. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96837 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 2:34 pm Yes someone was bored out of their gourd when they damaged this cent. Collecting since 1972.

met New Member United States 23 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 6:58 pm This thing measures about 17.6mm dia and weigh 2.46g Report this Post to the Staff
oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 8:24 pm allcoinsaregood; I think you are right. There was a big difference in one cent and a dime in that era, it was common to make dimes from one cent pieces for vending machines. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 06:36 am I meant 0.001 grams. It does not cost much more than a 0.01 grams scale and the scale should last you a lifetime in the hobby. So why buy a 0.01 scale now and shortly down the road buy have to a 0.001 scale? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5674 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 12:41 pm Either would be fine, but I'm not sure why you would ever need to upgrade to 0.001 g accuracy for coins. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 2:58 pm Use to do it back in the 60s. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25385 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 3:04 pm Given the range of Weight Tolerance in minted coins, I don't see how 0.001g accuracy is needed. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
