jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 09/24/2025 08:53 am Could the harsh cleaning and wear account for it? Numista says 9.45 grams, but I suppose 9.2 grams is in the tolerance range. https://en.numista.com/578 Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
ikuna Valued Member Trinidad And Tobago 489 Posts	Posted 09/24/2025 11:58 am It's reading 8.73 grams. That's a big difference cleaned or not. The lines look parallel not circular as in cleaning. Could be a plachete error. Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6997 Posts	Posted 09/24/2025 9:53 pm May have and most likely started its life as a underweight coin, however with that harsh cleaning (which it has) makes coin hardly collectable. I would carry it around in my pocket for a few years which would reduce the cleaning lines greatly. Report this Post to the Staff
