jungliston1 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 07/06/2019 6:17 pm Hello all, wondering your thoughts one these two coins. Picked then upnto start a War Type Set, just never got around to it. I also weigh most Transition dates, just incase. My Question is, "What is true Weight Tolerance?". I have seen anywhere from +/- 0.1 to 0.19. So, with those numbers, these coins are either outside or inside the tolerance parameters. Thank you for the help, Edward M. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is one thread where the relevant statute is referenced and all the data is summarized very nicely by @halo1st: http://goccf.com/t/280621 "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Some have clear markers and some don't. They tend to be over weight. Something to watch for as well. http://www.error-ref.com/henning-co...feit-nickel/ Edited by Halo1st 07/07/2019 12:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
