I was a checker at a grocery store in the 70's and 80's I collected a lot of coins and paper money. One of the coins is a ike 1776-1976 looks real but only weights 14.9 grams could it be a fake?  |

Mountainmarv! Yes, please post a reverse and edge photo. I saw a post a while back with fake Ike's and a 1964 Roosevelt dime so they do exist. |

First off, welcome.
As you must already realize, the weight you're reporting is tremendously light, way out of line for a genuine Ike. I'd like to see the edge, also, but my first reaction is that it cannot be a anything but a forgery (perhaps made from an aluminum alloy), even though I've not heard of such before.

It is possible that you have a spy coin. I see what appears to be a line along the rim on the reverse where it may have been cut.
If you do a search for 'spy coin' you'll see lots of examples and you'll see that they come apart and are hollow inside.

@MM, can it be opened? If so, that would be way cool!
