[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3521328, member: 78298"]Weigh it. And you will have your answer. A dime weighs 2.27 grams. If it is close to that weight it's env. damage. If it were missing a clad layer (which is 99.9% on one side only) it would weigh less. Since yours is copper colored on both sides, to be missing the clad layer on both sides the coin would be incredibly thin and light. And I assume the pressure from striking would also show something unusual. When one side is missing a clad layer, the copper is very bright and can very often be well struck and show good luster. It's almost always env. damage.[/QUOTE]
