Spence Moderator United States 16419 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 06:40 am @NJ, can you please post the weight? That should tell us if a wrong alloy was used. If it is within mint specs, then this is just environmental exposure.

NickJames New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 06:49 am Correction..didn't tare my scale..it's reading 5 grams now Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 16419 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 07:16 am Ok hmm normal weight is 3.75 g, but you are getting 5 g. Can you please confirm that any other random nickel weighs the correct amount on your scale?

scstrawn Valued Member United States 492 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 07:39 am Normal weight for a nickel has always been 5 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 48971 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 09:06 am Guessing just discoloration due to environmental factors. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 5112 Posts	Posted 11/19/2019 09:19 am I am with Coinfrog, we have a water fountain at the place I work and often kids throw coins in and make a wish. For me is interesting to watch how different coins with different alloy interact with moisture and chemicals after sitting in the water for awhile( we have a hard water in our town) the worst reaction I've seen has been on the Zincolns, the Zinc literally starts to explode from inside out .

BarlowAdams Valued Member United States 69 Posts	Posted 11/20/2019 02:12 am These things are like Bigfoot. You think you see one in a blurry picture and then nothing. Keep searching. These are, in my opinion, the coolest of all coins. Report this Post to the Staff
