11.3 is listed as std avg weight. Haven't found a certified tolerance tho, would suspect it is just result of thick rolled or thin rolled planchet stock, whether it was before the cladding and which layer it was is anyone's guess without a thorough separation diagnosis!


Do they feel thicker or thinner? Hard to really tell that's not much difference.

According to another thread I had a while back conder101 said the tolerance is between 10.89 and 11.79 it just hit me that I had had a lighter one and was asking for the tolerances so I went back and found the thread . Thanks for the replies Chase and Crazybo.
Rest in Peace

Good question though. It's always good to be reminded.
