Second, here is a link to the tutorial for uploading pics: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...g-images.asp I agree that it sounds ok, but I do look forward to seeing what you have there.

Vindex Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 04/04/2020 9:41 pm I am pretty sure it is only 1/100 of a gram off of mint tolerances. A picture is worth a 1000...Does it have a unusual color or tint? Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/06/2020 08:59 am High end tolerance is 5.19 grams, and I wouldn't get "excited" until you find one at least 5.5 grams or more. Report this Post to the Staff
