<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1269162, member: 66"]2.5 grams is good, makes it worthwhile to go to the next step. If you know someone who can do a specific gravity test that would be great (Try talking to your local high school chemistry teacher. A SG test is easy to do with the right equipment and they will have it. Specific gravity testing is often part of the curriculum.) SG for a clad dime is 8.92, for a silver dime it's 10.34 If it passes a SG test is is certainly worth spending the money on authenticating. As for where to sell it, it would do best at one of the major auction houses. If you wanted a more imediate payment there are a few specialist error coin dealers that you could go with. This is NOT the kind of coin you would sell to your local dealer because they would not have the clientele for it and would therefore pay a lot less for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
