Jatour Valued Member United States 185 Posts	Posted 07/17/2019 8:59 pm It weighs 1.52 grams it's completely silver and non magnetic Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 07/17/2019 9:04 pm Ok well then it has lost about 60% of the weight that it had at the mint. This seems like extreme wear or more likely a nitric acid bath.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/17/2019 9:08 pm Winged Liberty dime (Mercury as noted above) that's missing lots of detail. Could this just be from just wear?
