demelone Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 08/06/2019 3:53 pm The first picture shows 4.78 on teh scale. Normal weight for that nickle is stated as 5 grams. So you are just under what would be normal. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 08/07/2019 12:57 pm Planchet does not look like copper, but if there was nickel struck on a copper planchet of the same size as a copper nickel planchet it would have, for all practical purposes, the same weight. Copper and nickel have very nearly the same density (8.96 g/cm3 vs 8.90 g/cm3) and therefore the same weight for the same volume. The actual change in weight would be in theory .008 grams an amount equal to 4% of the allowed mint tolerance. Report this Post to the Staff
