Carlos arriaga Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 9:22 pm Close to the "N" of UNITED, there's an incuse dot (on the reverse). Because I did the Rockwell hardness test. Comparing this one with about 10 others (Nickel outer layer). The result didn't give me too much difference. But the question in my mind still; Why this difference in weight?
