Thank you, Like I said I new at this so excuse my questions.

Acetone soak? How long? Weight I do not know, Ill take it to the post office to weigh it, how much should it weigh? and post new pic, weight and after a acetone soak.

This coin was in my change after a purchase. I thought it was weird when I saw it. How you see it is how I got it, all I did was wash it with water and nothing changed or peeled off.

2.27 is the weight +/- .09 grams.
If you plan on staying in the hobby you need to buy a scale that goes down to 0.001 grams.

The bare min. things you need for hobby is a scale as mentioned, mag. glass, and get knowledge from sites like coppercoin, wexlers, variety vista ect... I separate coins per year using egg cartons which are easy to stack and put away to keep work area clear until needed again. " works for me".

That would be useless information as the post office weighs items in ounces and for coins you need resolution to hundredths of a gram.

John1 has accurate information on expected weight and scales for you.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art

That's interesting. Did you scrub it a little or just run it under the water? By the way, if it is an error coin, I'd avoid any type of cleaning other than soaking it in 100% acetone, not the stuff used for nails. You don't want to damage your coin by cleaning it just in case it is worth something.
Good luck to you-hope you've found something cool!

Just about the right weight for a dime.
Hope you can do the soak and share the results with us!
