01-p-10c Missing something

Tried to retract this last statement but for some reason it would not let me do it. The weight of this coin is 2,26g the same weight as an identical one with its clad layer, had to double check my conversion.

But is it? Take a moment and compare the very same piece of paper you used as a background to your posted photos; see any problems?

 

Not a photographer. $15 camera and an old flashlight make do with what I have. If I start worrying about the photos it will take all the fun out of collecting, I prefer the fun of collecting over spending a lot of unnecessary money and time trying to achieve the perfect coin photo. It is what it is

 

Let's add another one to the mix, This one I have taken a lowlight photograph to show the bits and pieces of the retained clad layer.

 

From the photos of missing clad layers and the one dime I have found with part of the clad layer missing I have never seen it missing or retained in a mottled pattern as your coin showes. What I have seen has a very defined edge between the clad and the copper. I still feel your coin to be tone in somewhat the manner that I stated. Since water played a part on toning your coin a simple oil residue in the protected areas your coin showes cladding could have preserved those areas.

 

Very possible thank you for your quote.

 

Starting to like dimes a little more. Enjoy the new arrivals

 

I just enjoy adding new coins.

 

It's far too heavy to be missing both clad layers since this 1998 which sold at a Heritage Auction and graded by ANACS as missing only one clad layer weighed 1.86 grams.

Virtually eery single Roosevelt which is missing either the obverse or reverse clad layers weighs in at 1.8x grams.

To be missing both clad layers would required a weight of approximately 1.4 grams?

As such, it's possible that your coin was plated after the fact or receiving the gouges and wear.

Just my opinion.

 

Damaged coins. Nothing more

 

Look I don't know what to tell you my scale could be off it's a cheap scale all I know is I take to dimes way them both they weigh the same one with a clad layer one without.

Please explain your quote?

 

I would really like your opinion on these coins along with your explanation of damage.

 

If they weigh the same there is not a missing layer.

 

Well as stated previously my scale is an old scale and evidently not that accurate so I have to use alternatives if the missing clad layer 1 measures out at 0.05mmShorter than the one with a clad layer, this is just another indicator to confirm my scale is not that accurate. And evidently I'll have to start looking for a new quality scale. But thank you for your quote and I appreciate it.

 

I agree with the above. Perhaps it was exposed to some type of chemical. toning it this color. I bet if you were to scrape a tiny area. you would see. see the coin in my avatar.it was a brand new silver round. nice and shiny. I toned it, to make it look old. and to bring out the details. I used sodium hydroxide and sulpher, and a 1.5 volt battery. reversing the positive and neg. creates this coppery color. regular post. and neg. as used for normal electroplating, would create a rainbow toning effect...best regards

 

Weigh several dimes and see what you get. Do several quarters and see what you get. You don't need a calibrated scale to compare the weights of coins. It will still work to show you if a coin is underweight.

 

Believe me I understand and appreciate all of your and other members advice . If I was a monetary collector I would spend the time and money, and just send it in and get it authenticated and graded, and find out one way or the other. But since I'm a hobby collector these coins will just go in my collection. And if and when I get the opportunity to go to a South Florida coin show, I'll take a couple of these coins with me. A lot of these coins shows have grading representatives, from different grading services, and get a off record opinion. Until then they will just set my collection. It's not all about the money. And if I really wanted to know the exact weight I would find my reloading box and find my reloading scale, which is accurate down to the grain. Personally I have too many other projects that have a priority. Believe me it would be easier for me to send it in. than to go trying to find my reloading scale. And I'm not out to be little anyone or insult anyone by this statement. But on this site we have two different kind of collectors. Monetary collectors and hobby collectors. And unfortunately it's like mixing oil and vinegar. That's just an observation

 

This has nothing to do with money. It's about the truth and fiction. It's clear you do not wish to learn what is true and what is fiction about this hobby. Blame others all you want. That won't change the truth.

 

The problem is that we don't know how much both the obverse and reverse clad layers are supposed to actually weigh. When you replied that the coin weighed 2.2gms, I wondered if your scale rounded to the nearest tenth or not. If your scale rounds to the nearest tenth, the range could theoretically be 2.15-2.24gms. I was just hoping that the variance might give us a clue.
