lokidbt New Member Canada 5 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 12:19 am Hello, My mother in law has had this for about 19 years or so when it was turned into her at a Gas station. She asked me about it and I figured I would turn to the experts for advice, history and value of this coin. We have seen a few coin collectors and they have verified it's authentic, they have weighed the coin and determined it is a dime, the face on the back is a dime and yet the front is stamped with a penny. It is silver in color and is in excellent shape. Edited by lokidbt 01/21/2014 4:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5324 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 08:40 am If coin weighs 2.7grams your answer probably in a recent silver penny thread, a 1984 dime weighs 2.07 grams, an xrf will tell you exactly what it is. Report this Post to the Staff
darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2426 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 09:00 am A 1984 penny should way 2.5 grams and there may be a little room for variance. Report this Post to the Staff
darryldarryl Pillar of the Community Canada 2426 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 09:03 am The composition of a 1984 penny is .980 copper, .005 Tin and .015 zinc. Is it magnetic ? Report this Post to the Staff

lokidbt New Member Canada 5 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 4:47 pm Thanks, So I took it to get looked at today from a few coin Vendors in the city. They say it is a dime stamped with a penny face. It weighs and measures like a dime the only difference of course is the penny face. One offered to buy it for $250, one for $500 and one was around $650. Do you guys know the true value of something like this as these numbers seem all over plus they would have to be low if the seller is buying them to re-sell and make money off Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 5:41 pm It's a penny struck on a blank intended for a dime, it was never a dime. IMO take the $650 before they reconsider. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 01/21/2014 5:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 01/21/2014 7:02 pm Don't know if I have seen an 84. You see 79 and 80 fairly often and they sell for around $150 to $300. I would guess an 84 is scarcer and is worth more. As DBM says, $650 sounds generous. Report this Post to the Staff
