coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/14/2021 8:32 pm 2.27 grams is normal weight. So it is on probably just circulation wear and coin flattening making it appear thinner. The setup rim was there when the struck, the coin was normal thickness when new. But the circulation just wore down the rims. That is its job, to take the beating and prevent the devices from wearing down as fast. If you compared the centers of the two coins, that area will be the same on both coins. Just coin wear altered this coin. No premium for this. Report this Post to the Staff
