i weighed both nickels again corroded one is 4.85 g the other one is 5.05 g

today i learned what weight tolerance is. i’m sure i was taught it in school but still, thank you! the term is forever engraved in my memory now. although the “coin is only .01g” part is confusing me. recognizing that the coin was corroded down, it explains to me the lesser weight. i did not weigh the less-damaged coin though, i assumed it would be the usual 5 gram weight. i find it neat regardless, to have a corroded coin. it feels “pale” in comparison to the other coins. when i weighed the damaged coin, it weight around 4.8 g. i don’t recall the hundred’s decimal place..

i really appreciate your response. i like learning new things and finding out what corrosive damage would look like. i think i remember reading about that in my research. i genuinely don’t expect to find any real gems. my skepticism just likes to stay hopeful.

i was searching through my nickels, having become an avid coin hunter very recently. i did a little bit of research before looking through my nickels. but i came across one that felt different and weight .2 g less than the regular 5 g. more research on it gave me reason to believe it could be a clad error, maybe alongside a mint error with the words “Five Cents”. im a major noob though. i only know what i see, and i’m hoping someone could help me out to identify my coins. apologies for the sideways picture. the one to the left(or on top) is another 1987 coin i had in my pile. the one on the right(bottom) is the odd textured one—the “clad” nickel.

i recently found this 2019 D mint dime. i’m not that experienced in coin collecting whatsoever. i began probably a few weeks ago. and i’m beating my brains up trying to accept if it’s genuine or not. i’ve done a handful of research, and have learned some things that could play into this coin. but at the same time it just looks like it was damaged. help? i need to cure my skepticism.
