Smfn New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 01/14/2022 05:51 am Hello, I'm lost on my 1965 dime no mint mark. It weighs in at 1.99 grams. I've weighed it multiple times, recalabrated, and used different scale. Never weighed over 2.03 grams. I would think that the weight reduction is a bit high. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 01/14/2022 06:57 am to the CCF Taking into account the tolerance of +-.09g and the fact it has been corroded, you might still be in the ballpark. Having scales that are not consistent doesn't help either. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/15/2022 12:07 am Environmental damage/corrosion, probably from being buried in soil as others have suggested. With a mint weight of 2.50 grams, your weights aren't too far off from tolerance. Time for a new scale maybe. Keep searching! Report this Post to the Staff
