At first I noticed some letters missing from the IGWT and might have been PMD. The planchet was thicker than normal so I put it on my scale and weighed in at 2.67g. Just a note, I calibrate my scale and measured it a few more times and even weighed it against coins with same year/mint, those others came in at 2.48g-2.50g. Is the weight 2.67g within Weight Tolerance, I figured if it were Die Deterioration wouldn't it it be lesser weight than normal 2.5g? The coin Itself is nice to look at, it has a nice satin finish on both sides, hard to tell from the pictures. Well I hope to hear input on this one shortly..Thanks Again!!

bossvibe New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 10/02/2018 4:39 pm Thanks Errers and Varietys, thanks for your input. I also noticed the rim on the reverse mainly on the left side , was this a poorly struck coin from the mint or is it in its beginning phase of deteriorating and falling apart. thanks.
