It is thicker than a standard dime, but I cannot find anything that might match this as an error. Or is this within standards for a dime. In really good condition and clean. Wondering if anyone knows if this is struck on a different planchet or just a standard dime. See photos. It's not a lot thicker than standard, but I felt a difference as soon as I picked up. This is my first post, so I apologize if I'm asking a stupid question. Started recently in coins. Thanks for the help everyone. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/06/2017 10:27 am Maximum tolerance is 2.36 grams. If your scale is only good to one decimal place that would be rounded up to 2.4 So we really can't say if it is within tolerance or not, but if it is out of tolerance it is by a very small amount. Not enough to be worth a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
