<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 281406, member: 8959&quot;]I have seen a few postings here about coins people thought were fakes or counterfeits. Well, here is probably mine, and probably the biggest error i ever made in coin collecting. This is a 1800 dime i bought from a local dealer here. It was not cheap.&nbsp; </p><p>As i got more knowledgeable about US coins, and was actually able to compare with other pieces, i came to realize this one does not &quot;look right&quot;.&nbsp; It is not in good condition (about good?), and it has has a very soft, washedßout apperance. It weighs 2.62 grams, (nominal weigth for dimes of this era is 2.70 grams). The diameter is 1.91 mm. So weigth and diameter both seem OK, but still something bothers me...... Probably because the dealer i bought it from was utlimately found out to have sold several manipulated US coins. Oh well.... i was young(er) back then.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>Please let me know your thoughts.</p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
