Jay_R New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 05/29/2018 4:10 pm Confused with this one. I thought all nickels weighed 5 grams? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74809 Posts	Posted 05/29/2018 4:17 pm That's very underweight for a Nickel. The normal weight is 5 grams and yours is at 4.22 grams. It's an error coin. It's call a Rolled Thin Planchet. From error-ref.com: Quote: Rolled-thin planchet: A coin struck on a planchet punched out of stock that was rolled too thin on the rolling mill. http://www.error-ref.com/rolled-thin-planchets/ Errers and Varietys.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74809 Posts	Posted 05/29/2018 4:30 pm You're very welcome! That's a great find! Definitely a keeper. Make sure to put it in a 2x2 coin flip for protection. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 05/29/2018 9:47 pm @JR, first welcome to CCF. Second, I agree that it would be nice to see the rev of this nickel, but would also add that it would be nice to see this nickel stacked on another, normal weight nickel. Your should be a bit thinner if it is a thin planchet. Thx!
