Finedime69 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 04/23/2019 1:05 pm Hello today I went to cash my check at the bank and as always I asked if they had any dollar coins or half dollars because I collect them. I was handed this 2007 James Madison and it appears to me that it has an error. I'm fairly new to collecting but I think it's etheir improperly annealed or missing clad layers on both sides.it weighs 7.95. Would appreciate any opinions and input. Thank you for all your help and I apologize if my pictures aren't the beat Report this Post to the Staff

Finedime69 New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 04/23/2019 1:34 pm I'll have to try and post some different pictures so you can see the colors better. And the weight is off at least a little. If I'm right they are supposed to weigh 8.1. This weighs 7.95. It's like grayish brown in color.. I'm waiting for my phone to charge enough to take pictures so bear with me. Thank you for your responses Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/23/2019 2:58 pm Normal weight is 8.1 grams tolerance is +/- .3 grams so 7.8 to 8.4 grams is normal range. If it was missing a clad layer, and assuming the clad layer is roughly the same percentage of weight on the dollar as it is in the other clad coins, I would expect the weight of a dollar with one missing layer to be 6.67 grams. Two missing layers would be 5.24 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
