<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alurid, post: 3207358, member: 81991&quot;]I was searching through my dealer’s inventory the other day and I found this dime.</p><p>It is a weak struck coin. I did not know that <i>weak strikes</i> occur most frequently in <i>dimes</i>. I found that to be most interesting. I also like the fact that it is a 1976-D.</p><p>I have tried to show the details as well as I can. The close-up edge photo shows a partial line that is supposed to be the reeding. Another edge photo to show the layover of the cladding on the edge where the blank was cut from the sheet. (It was cut reverse facing up) It does not have any (naked eye) visible reeding. It weighs in at 2.25 grams, which makes it .02 grams under its mean weight. Its diameter is .700 thousands of an inch, which is approximately 4-6 thousands of an inch smaller than average dime. And of course, as with most errors not every one will look the same. I have also posted a link that has a good read about this kind of error.&nbsp; Thanks for looking.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]831797[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]831798[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]831799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]831800[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="http://www.error-ref.com/weak_strikesinsufficientrampressure" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.error-ref.com/weak_strikesinsufficientrampressure" rel="nofollow">http://www.error-ref.com/weak_strikesinsufficientrampressure</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
