    One of the things newbies should learn is that for most error coins, grade is less important than overall eye appeal.

    This one has a nice, full, complete, non-corrupted date. Only an AU55, but is,better than an MS grade with the date partially missing.

    Struck on a silver 10 cent planchet. Overall, this one is a real beauty. Nice, even color with mild silver toning to help accent details.

    That is amazing. It looks large for a dime size. What is the weight?

    It doesn't give the weight on the label

    I don’t own the coin, so I don’t know for sure, but the weight is exactly how you know it was struck on a dime planchet. It should weigh exactly 2.5g

    Yes I understand that, that's why I wanted to compare the actual weight.
    To see if it was 2.5 or less or whatever.

    Nice coin! You could show the slab, but blot out the indicating serial number.

    If it is really struck on a dime planchet, I'm surprised at how well struck up the details in the bust and Monticello are. Those require a lot of metal and the dime planchet would be considerably thinner than the nickel planchets the press would be set for.
