It's within tolerance for weight. Appears to suffer from traumatic post-mint damage, however.

Yes definitely not a mint error. This dime would be a spender for me.

It is PMD. Double check your scale. 2.27 grams is normal with mint tolerance of +/- .09 grams. Regardless of weight it is PMD. John1  |

If your scale is accurate this is within Weight Tolerance. As already stated - this is a damaged coin with no numismatic premium. |

looks like rim was ground off deliberately to attempt to use the coin for making false die clashes with other coins. poor attempt though.

You can duplicate this by rubbing it on concrete or sandpaper.

Regardless of how it was done, it is still damage and never a mint error.

Thump1, it might have started out a little heavy.

Post mint damage. It didn't leave the mint looking like this.  |
