One of your first pics showed an up set rim, the slugs are "generally " not that way except on one side because of the punch-out. (former electrician...)

Thanks for the weight. That's within the 1873-1964 silver specs of 2.500 grams, +/- 0.097 grams.

FYI, I once worked with hardware in a fabrication shop. Hardware came in all sizes by the tons and out by the pounds. Compositions varied, but mainly stainless steel for the product line being fabricated.

Every so often I'd find perfectly sized bolts with no threads also nuts with no threaded center, but lastly perfectly round washer discs with no center punched holes.

Quarter sized is what I remember most. Resembled mint punched blanks, pre-upset. Thanks, Doug.

That's what I like about this hobby. It's very fun and you'll learn a lot of new things, that you've never known about.

I was curious if you had it tested for silver? It seems in spec. Thanks, Doug.
