If they weigh far below the tolerance (3.1 grams to 3.12 grams) then they are errors with some modest premium value. Because they are still round and still fit into rolls, they are somewhat less valuable than errors that are not round. Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 05/22/2007 11:46 am Thanks for the information. I weighed the coins. the 54 is 2.4 grams and the 55 is 2.0 grams. I also have a 1923 that weighs 2.4 grams. Ron Edited by echizento 05/22/2007 11:47 am Report this Post to the Staff

It would have to be larger than a normal coin to be broadstruck (struck out of collar). You can see from the placement of the details on the coin that the edge of the coin is of normal distance from the outer letters all the way around the design. Echizento - your coins definitely are not "normal" - they are far outside the tolerance for weight, and are probably struck on the wrong type of blanks or blanks that were too thin. You should have the coins checked out by an error specialist for more information. Report this Post to the Staff
