spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 09/10/2018 02:32 am I am not really seeing the green color (not translating in pics), but 2.8/2.9 grams is within Mint tolerance for that coin. It is on the extreme edge, but I wouldn't call it special.

Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 09/10/2018 1:22 pm Does your scale go to hundreths/g? Is that 2.8 really 2.89g? That would be as stated above, within tolerances. KK Report this Post to the Staff
