Hello, new to this forum! I am having a hard time finding a value for this dime. Is it a mint error or did it end up in the hands of a curious high school chemistry student? 1980 P dime ribbed edges sounds like copper seems to tarnish like copper
Silentnviolent - The dime weighs approx. 2.37g, I would like to double check with another scale though. What do you think?
well, normal weight is 2.27g. If it was missing a layer it should weigh less. 2 layers missing should be a significant loss in weight. Plus it would only be 1/3 as thick as it should be, resulting in a weak strike. I'm thinking that this dime is just discolored or maybe plated, since it weighs .1g heavy. Keep looking, though. You'll find something.
Hey, I found a copper dime and it's everything you said it should beand it's a 1980 p, I also have a few 2009 D Penny's, what's the value of the copper dime though?
This thread is almost 5 years old. To get the proper attention, you should start your own thread and include photos.
Would be nice to have a photo and an accurate weight X.XX grams. Also when you photo graph it, use a white or a gray background so we can see the coloration. The dime in this thread had the white balance way off. Jim
