Wildhare Valued Member United States 219 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 6:22 pm The 1974 (a normal nickel) should weigh 5 grams, but it shows the other one is seriously underweight. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2740 Posts	Posted 04/05/2018 11:32 pm This is an acid job. The perfect centering, lack of a design rim, smaller-than-normal diameter, blurred details on both faces, and a rippled surface in some areas are all obvious red flags.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/06/2018 12:11 am Thanks Mike. I thought the issue of the distortion on LIBERTY reminded me of that. The lines on the obverse also reminded me of that on a coin I acquired years ago: Second one down. I did miss the missing rims and reduced diameter. But we learn/remember a little at a time.
