Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 9:08 pm from what I can find the lowest end of the tolerance should be 5.48 grams, is the coin worn? That may account for the missing material. Report this Post to the Staff

Please post a couple pics of this coin so that we can see what you have there. Thx.
