Small update: brought coin to a coin dealer near by and the owner very experienced in coins took one quick look and said for sure not silver. So I am still waiting for my scale in the mail and the weight will be the only thing left to find!

So the weight came in at 6.06 thanks to some help at the Nuphilex show. opion given was that it is most likely a foreign planchet. Not sure from which country as I am not sure how to find dimensions of foreign coins produced by the mint in 2000. Thickness also measured at 1.875 MM. Decided to put this one up on ebay as does not fit my collection. Maybe it will find a good home! |

Hi JeyRey2000
I have been working on a spread sheet to weigh circulated coin weights and as far as my calculations it should weigh approx. 5.142 grams as per circulated coins....That is measuring at least 5 coins of a certain year and taking an average.

SPP is about the only one I know that can determine the metal content of your coin, which is a start.

i paid 90.00 bucks for it, it is a wrong planchet but weight does not match any foreign coins that the RCM produces. if I see SSP at brampton coin show in dec. I would like him to zap it. |

I will not be at the Brampton coin show this December. Also, the XRF has been sent off to the states for a hardware and software upgrade. I should be up and running sometime in February. I saw that coin at Nuphilex, I recall it being circulated to almost EF-40, I think you paid that collector a very fair price - probably more than I would pay for a circulated example.

I suspect it is struck on a foreign planchet. Until it is analyzed, all you have to go by is weight, colour and non-magnetic. You could try to narrow the search by looking here: http://www.coinscan.com/for/foreign.html"Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.
