No pics at the moment sorry, but how is a picture gonna sound. Anyways I decided to throw it on my scale. It was 4.89g where as my other 2000s all ranged between 5 and 5.05g. does anhone have an idea as to why or what is going on? Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

Are both sides readable? (Possible split planchet if one side is not looking normal) But pictures are always better. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 11:01 am I think it is still in tolerance. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21684 Posts	Posted 07/30/2018 11:24 am With a weight of 5g and a tolerance of .18g, the nickel is well within tolerance. Report this Post to the Staff
