I'll try and weigh it asap, I don't have a scale unfortunately but might be able to borrow one. Edited by Jard 02/11/2013 2:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Steel core, thin layer of nickel, thick layer of copper and a thick layer of nickel on the outside...

I am not terribly knowledgeable about the plating process myself...so tks SPP-Ottawa! Maybe attending would be a good idea Report this Post to the Staff
