<B>197?-D 10C Roosevelt Dime--Struck On Clad Layer Only--MS61 PCGS.</B></I> 5 grains. A normal clad dime weighs 35 grains. Apparently, a clad dime planchet improperly bonded and split across the edge prior to the strike, or else the planchet was punched from the end of stock with only a single clad layer present. Vastly underweight, the planchet could not fill the dies, and the strike is quite soft, with only the tops of the 197 in the date present. The Denver mintmark is clear. Some handling marks on each side were possibly present on the planchet prior to the strike.
