Weight of a ' 64 and prior Roosevelt time compared to '65 later

namwalker

I am interested in ascertaining what the weight of a '64 and prior roosevelt coin is compared to a '65 and later roosevelt. I assume that there are two different weights. Please advise. Thanks...................

I don't know the figures off the top of my head, but I imagine a google search would round them up quickly enough.

the redbook is great for this far as i know it is quite accurate

1964 dime = 2.50 grams.
1965 dime = 2.27 grams

ProofArtworkonCircs: I am assuming from your post that 2.27 grams would be applicable to all post '65 coins that were not silver by nature.

The reason that I am asking is that I am trying to put together a post '65 album without any of the "S"mint marked coins (including silver) at the the present. But I would not turn my nose up a any silver dimes that I can find in circulation.

Thanks for you input.

edit: would a non silver "s" coin also weigh in a 2.27 grams? I would believe so, but I feel that I should check. Thanks are regards.

a redbook has all of the standards listed from type to type, there is no substitute far as i've seen

All copper-nickel clad dimes should weigh 2.27 grams, whether they are business strikes or Proofs.

Modern proof silver dimes are pre 1965 standards or 2.50 grams.

All these numbers I have taken from the Redbook.
