coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 9:07 pm What was the weight when the planchet was made? Take away what was lost? So what would the weight be? No one answered for a few hours. But was anything actually removed from the planchet? Do coins with a mint mark, die crack, die chip, die break or Cud actually gain or loose weight?

josephm99 Pillar of the Community United States 791 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 4:16 pm The weight then must be the same since nothing is removed from the planchet nor is anything added to it. Weight must be the 3.1g that is normal for a copper planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
