coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/29/2023 11:43 am Damaged coin. The weight will be slightly less than normal. It was a normal strike coin and the outer edge was altered and filed down. Just a spender cull coin now. Report this Post to the Staff

Zkha9136 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 01/29/2023 1:46 pm Just to clear up the weight issue, I calibrate my scale with a 100g weight often and I checked multiple examples to be sure. I an with everyone on the PMD, just wanted to set aside any doubt that my scales were wrong. Thanks again everyone for the help Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/29/2023 1:50 pm Well coins are not weight post strike. (Except for gold coins) there is a tolerance for coins: + and - tolerance weights are below the chart. Report this Post to the Staff
Zkha9136 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 01/29/2023 11:49 pm I see what you are saying for sure, I definitely didn't mean anything by my reply, it just had me intrigued because at 3.24g, it is right at the threshold according to the chart and since it has been shaved/cut or whatever the case may be, it seems like it would have been underweight instead of over. I just wish I could have come across it before it was tampered with to see what it weighed originally. Report this Post to the Staff

If only his sister had more intact dolls that were ready to be be-headed or melted, ... Have you apologized to your sister yet for experimenting on her dolls? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
