Wrong. robmck1967's $2 German planchet blank came directly from me... it is most definitely legit.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10469 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 7:18 pm I cannot speak for the ebay coin - the real test is the weight (7.3 grams) and the outer ring being pure nickel (which I check with my XRF at work). robmck1967's is legit.

So are the composition and weight of a Deutsche Nickel planchet different from an RCM one? Also, how do you tell them apart on a struck coin? Report this Post to the Staff
john100 Pillar of the Community Canada 5327 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 8:35 pm The 2 Euro coins are larger and has a larger core and weight, than the toonie. Report this Post to the Staff
