JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1189 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 12:33 pm I got a few rolls I was expecting in the mail today and I came across this one, at first I thought it was PMD but after weighing it and seeing how thin the planchet actually is I'm not so sure. I was hoping someone might have an idea of what this might be. Coin weighs 3 Grams with a diameter of 18.45mm and a thickness of 1.45mm original weight should be 3.24 with a diameter of 19.05mm and an average thickness of 1.55mm to 160mm The scratch marks on the rim I thought were from maybe a file or something, however that still does not explain why it is so thin.

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10477 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 5:41 pm The rim has been ground off... I have some awesome examples where folks turned a round 1-cent into a lovely 8-sided, 10-sides and even 12-sided coin... When the rim is removed, the coin "looks" thinner (at the level of the fields).
