Some added info: the original post was long enough, so I'm going to seperate some added information in this follow-up. The coin is 5.01 g, just as it should be but when I took it out of the flip to put it into an air-tite for easier handling & viewing, the coin was too big. My coin calipers disappeared about the time one of my daughters went back to college after spring break [
] so I can't say how much "too big" it is.
Also, I went on ebay after I did the original post and some of the singles for that date and mint also had the dull (matte) phenotype while others had the typical shiny version.
