Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 09:06 am Does the back of the nickel have a P or not? In 2001 the mint used two different compositions. Report this Post to the Staff
fioti Pillar of the Community United States 4212 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 10:47 am Doubling doesn't add weight, its a die issue. Do we have a concrete issue weight yet? Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 09/13/2013 12:58 pm The issue weight for the 2012 loonie multi-ply brass plated steel is 6.27g The issue weight for the 2012 loonie 91.5% nickel 8.5% bronze plating is 7.00g As for the doubling its hard to see. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 09/24/2013 12:43 pm Joseph7420 your right, there are 2 different weights for 2001 nickel and 2 different compositions. 2001-p 3.95g 2001 no-p 4.60g I just found that out a few minutes ago, I was wondering what was going on there. Maybe Coins and Canada will put that info up soon. Thanks for pointing that out Report this Post to the Staff
