RoscoeCham Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 7:31 pm 2.18 grams is the weight. They are supposed to weigh 2.27 correct? Report this Post to the Staff
RoscoeCham Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 8:01 pm It does have crud and corrosion, which I would think would weight? Just very interesting to me, wish I had better pictures or a microscope to look at it better! I appreciate all of your opinions! Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 23268 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 8:14 pm Quote: 2.18 grams is the weight. They are supposed to weigh 2.27 correct? True, but with a tolerance of 0.09 g. If your coin was missing a clad layer, it would be dramatically under mint spec. You have a spender here.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 2310 Posts	Posted 01/23/2022 8:53 pm That's years the clad composition was Ni-Cu-Bi. The process was cold welding. The Bi and Cu as additive help to the cold crystalline fusion between the core and the clad layouts. the problem with this clad it is porous and Bi and CU will react chemical to the deafferents environments composition. This cause the color and the eroded of your coin. Good like for other coins find. Report this Post to the Staff

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 01/24/2022 3:14 pm yes, a clad dime of 1967 should weight 2.27g. if missing one clad layer, it will weigh around 1.9g, and if missing both and only the copper core it would weigh.around 1.5g/ Report this Post to the Staff

lcutler Pillar of the Community United States 867 Posts	Posted 04/03/2022 04:47 am Yes, I metal detect and that is classic environmental damage. The coppery color doesn't just clean off, they generally have to be run in a tumbler to do it. Report this Post to the Staff

sirguardian Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 3:50 pm AKA "Black Beauties" that's the slang term for these. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 1032 Posts	Posted 04/04/2022 5:08 pm This is not a black beauty. This is environmental staining. A BB is an annealing problem. Report this Post to the Staff
