[QUOTE="Fred Weinberg, post: 3204416, member: 86437"]I agree with OH'er's suggestion above. The copper core is probably thicker than the normal finished planchet, Also, take the 2.08 grams on the tag, add the .4 of a gram for the outer layer, and you get 2.48. Normal clad dime planchets should weigh 2.27 which is .21 of a gram difference. With a tolerance of .9 grams (listed in the Redbook), the coin is between .12 and .21 of a gram overweight. Decent, notable, interesting, but not overly significant, imo.[/QUOTE]
