My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 10:04 am I was just curious why this could be overweight like this. It weighs 5.22 g and it does seem a bit off to me by looking at it but I don't have a clue why. I enjoy picking your brains so I'm asking everyone here for a little education on the subject.

My2cent Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 07/19/2021 10:25 am Okay, I just didn't know if I should take the age of the coin into account and assume it was even heavier than this originally. So it's usually just a slightly over weight planchet unless it actually is the weight of a different denomination coin? Report this Post to the Staff

Even when it seems I ask too many questions it is only because I really want to figure it out and have a deeper understanding of the subject at hand. Report this Post to the Staff
