Lack of interest so we'll call it early. CoinRejector for the WIN. Emailing you!

(.075 guess and nailed the coin year - no guess on individual weights so just two nuggies)

Actual combined weight - .77grams

Individual weights - .33 & .44

Year of coin - 1862

Shout out to igwt79 - fantastic read on the clue, just wrong direction.

Congrats to @CoinRejector! Those were remarkably accurate guesses by both CoinRejector and igwt79. I was going to enter a guess today, but it wouldn't have been even close!
