i was just going through all my proofs and heard an odd sounding one. it is a 1988s AU and shows no major wear and is very thin compared to normal proofs. it only weighs 9g.
could it be on a wrong planchet? how could I tell?

Pictures would help a lot. Plus a photo of the edge if you can. Could have been struck on dime stock, perhaps?

9 grams? That's well under weight... It does look thin too. Wrong thickness metal stock maybe?

My guess is quarter stock.

If it was struck on the wrong stock/planchet,wouldn't the strike/devises be weak?
