<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3045867, member: 78298&quot;]The weight of a dime struck on quarter stock would be the area of a dime divided by the area of the quarter. The only variable between the two is diameter, so we can calculate (17.9/24.3) squared times the quarter weight of 5.67 grams.</p><p>I get .5426(5.67) = 3.077 grams. I have seen one example where a clad dime struck on clad quarter stock weighed 3.0 grams.</p><p>However when you substitute the weight of a silver quarter (6.25 grams) the answer that the dime would weigh is 3.4 grams.</p><p>So it seems very possible that this dime is struck on quarter stock.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
