<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1396705, member: 24633&quot;]I got this in a bulk lot purchase about 7 years ago. I finally got around to submitting it to NGC 2-3 years ago, but it came back &quot;NOT ENCAPSULATED - INELLIGIBLE TYPE&quot;. When you think about it, this shouldn&#039;t come as a big surprise because it wasn&#039;t like it was submitted in the original Mint cello with the rest of an Uncirculated Set, but I still hoped for the best.</p><p><br /></p><p>A normal dime is 17.9mm, and this blank is 17.88mm which seems about right since it doesn&#039;t have a clad layer. Would the fact that it doesn&#039;t have a clad layer be a dead giveaway?</p><p><br /></p><p>A normal dime weighs 2.268gms, and this blank weighs 2.3gms. However, my scale only weighs to the nearest tenth of a gram, so this would still be in the ballpark.</p><p><br /></p><p>A normal dime is 1.34mm thick, and this blank is 1.25mm thick. Again, it seems that it is still in the ballpark considering it doesn&#039;t have the clad layer.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what do you think? Is it just wishful thinking on my part? In any event, I still keep it around as a conversation piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
