Topher1977 New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 8:39 pm Hello I have the 1976 Roosevelt dime pictured below. It appears as if it's missing it's nickel cladding. I considered that it was just heavy toning, but the weight is also less than a regular dime. This dime weighs 2.24 grams which is slightly less than a normal dime. I'm interested to hear your thoughts. Is it rare? And if so, what would it be worth. Thank you in advance. Chris Edited by Topher1977 09/17/2022 8:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like it is just environmental toning. Not rare and worth 10 cents. Edited by JimmyD 09/17/2022 8:57 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97087 Posts	Posted 09/17/2022 9:10 pm Can you give us the weight of this coin. Also if it was struck with no copper/nickel cladding on either side, the coin would be thinner and be a weak strike and under weight. Collecting since 1972.
