Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/03/2018 4:50 pm There are "tolerances" listed for all coins, these are "recommendations" from the mint to manufacturing processes, not a set in stone law. Alloy variances, metal extrusion (thin/thick rolled stock plates will all have effects increasing/decreasing over thei "recommended" weight. Report this Post to the Staff
