As to the Thin planchet... some more info here http://goccf.com/t/103503. The Thin Planchet is noticeably thinner, quite a bit lighter and poorly struck. You shouldn't need a scale to identify one if in a group. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10471 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 2:11 pm The thin planchet weights around 7.7 to 7.8 grams. They also occur in other years. I have one from 1982 Constitution and 1980 voyageur. 1982 Constitution (7.8 grams), first photo is the edge view (far left coin) Here is the 1980 (7.7 grams) "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.
