Apitrix Pillar of the Community Canada 581 Posts	Posted 06/09/2016 11:03 am 25mm on the dot and I don't have a way of weighing it at the moment :( Would this type of coin be worth any premium? Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16868 Posts	Posted 06/09/2016 6:50 pm If it's underweight, then my assumption would be acid damage, rather than a mint error.

I would agree unconditionally if it were on top of the design, but that is not the c ASE Report this Post to the Staff
