Wmcgrew New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/12/2021 03:32 am I came across an unusual dime, that I believe to be a planchet error. It initially caught my attention, because it was smaller than normal, and it doesn't have a reeded edge. It weighs 2.0 grams. They're supposed to weigh 2.26 right? I have attached a couple photo's.

Would " Dryer Coins" lose any weight? So maybe just sanded edge - thus the no reeds with the light weight. Report this Post to the Staff

No...in both cases you are just moving the metal around and not losing any. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Dearborn Moderator United States 95896 Posts	Posted 05/12/2021 3:48 pm I'm surprised that people still spoon coins now-a-days. I remember spooning silver quarters to make rings way back in the late 1960's Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/13/2021 6:07 pm I doubt they would spoon a dime. To make a ring with it, would be too small for an infant to wear. (the reason for spooning coins used to be to make rings out of them, but silver quarters were often the denomination for that: Report this Post to the Staff
