[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3137218, member: 78298"]You can weigh it. If it is ULTRA light, it's missing BOTH clad layers. Generally only 1 clad layer will be missing. I can see areas of clad/ nickel silver through the oxidation on your coin. Environmental damage. I have over 3000 dimes in my garage from metal detecting, and probably a couple hundred like this. The copper would be much more copper colored and flat. Yours is way too shiny. Weigh it is a good first test. Clad dimes weigh 2.27 grams. If it were missing both clad layers, prob be very light, 1 something.[/QUOTE]
