coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/22/2018 12:49 pm What they guys are saying is that the weight can vary from coin to coin. There is an average that they should be, but are OK is above or below a certain weight. Report this Post to the Staff
Kopper Ken Pillar of the Community United States 3402 Posts	Posted 11/22/2018 1:28 pm There's always a range in planchet weights allowed by the mint. They just can't give the manufacturer one set weight to shoot for...too many planchets would be rejected. KK Report this Post to the Staff
