<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 24699572, member: 112&quot;]The spec weight for a &#039;99 dime is 2.268 gm, and it has a tolerance range of +/- 0.091 gm meaning coins between 2.359 gm and 2.177 gm are within mint tolerance levels.</p><p><br /></p><p>That means your coin is between 0.419 (the max) and 0.237 (the minimum) gm under specified weight. That&#039;s a lot for a dime ! </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, without close examination by someone who knows what they&#039;re doing it&#039;s hard to say if it&#039;s an error or not. But even it were an error it would probably only be worth a few dollars at best - and I mean few in the literal sense. As a general rule most error coins have very little monetary value. They are collected mainly as oddities by people who like such things.</p><p><br /></p><p>To put that into perspective, if it were an error, it would probably cost you 2 or 3 times its dollar value just to have it slabbed and certified as an error. So would it be worth it ? Not likely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
