Jen Diggs New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 6:49 pm I was able to weigh it, 5 grams. I weighed a 1939 Nickel and a 1986 Nickel for comparison, and they were also 5 grams Report this Post to the Staff

Jen Diggs New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 7:04 pm The 1981 Nickel in question was 5 grams. I weighed a 1939 Nickel- 5 grams and a 1986 Nickel, 5 grams Doug had a good link as did Coop, do you think this is what it is? Pristine Planchets Definition: A planchet that lacks the usual tumbling marks and instead has a surface free of imperfections. Faint roller marks are often present. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 7:12 pm Jen. The new pics help. It's PMD for me. Note the difference in color and surface texture. That clinches it for me. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 7:13 pm Well if it is normal weight and normal thickness, then it maybe a Struck Through Grease error on the reverse. The obverse looks like it was damaged while the coin was wrapped form a coin wrapper that damaged the devices. The die on the reverse must have been really filled with grease in that deeper part of the die. Also five cents is also partly blocked. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/03/2016 12:16 pm What kind of scale did you use to weigh the coin? If it is only accurate to the nearest gram, then your measurement is not accurate. The new photos show many marks and scratches on Monticello, leading me to believe that the details were mechanically removed. Report this Post to the Staff
