Brad adams Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) I found a 1978 dime no mint mark it weighs 2.49 grams on a 100th scale and don't know whether it's silver or another wrong composition Is this a rare coin with any premium value Edited June 16, 2020 by Brad adams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenHolcomb Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Coins without a MM are struck at the Philly Mint. 2.5g is the normal weight for a Clad Roos Dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conder101 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 No 2.27 grams is the normal weight for a clad dime. But there is also a tolerance range of +/- .09 grams so tolerance could go up to 2.36 grams. So Brad you have a dime struck on a slightly rolled thick planchet that is .13 grams overweight. This is most likely not enough to get any error collector "worked up". When you get to .3 or .4 grams out of tolerance (around 2.7 to 2.8 grams) then you may see some interest and premium value.

Conder101 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Value is 10 cents, See the last part of my previous post, not far enough out of spec to command a premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
