Dime planchet? Edited by TheCoinHunter 04/17/2014 5:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 04/17/2014 2:46 pm The dimensions and weight looks a bit too small for a penny. Also the rims aren't complete, looks like the blank was not big enough. If it's a silvery colour I think it might be struck on a dime planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
TheCoinHunter Pillar of the Community Canada 1461 Posts	Posted 04/17/2014 5:16 pm That's the thought. It's nickel and it is within the correct parameters for a dime although a bit thin (but not reeded) and also slightly lighter. An 89 dime is 2.07 gr / 18.03 mm Edited by TheCoinHunter 04/17/2014 5:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 04/18/2014 10:12 pm There is another way to identify whether or not it is a say dime or nickel planchet..It is with what I was working on with sound a couple of years ago..Called CAS or Coin Analysis System..but to no avail..There is a web site I found that has almost every coin in the world, what it is made of, dimensions, weight..etc..I will see if I can find it again for you. I found it..but it is in a PDF form..If you want it..Then email me and I will forward it to you. Edited by wert 04/18/2014 10:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
