What I see it is a silver. the weight is ok for this kind of silver alloy. If you look on the others specs you will find that probably the planchet is thicker. This occur many time in this series.

Silviosi ,So the tolerance guide is totally incorrect ?
Many times it exceeds the tolerance by 2 to 4 times ?
Then they should have not mislead so many people since this excess silver is common based on your knowledge.
Also it is not dirty. It is circulated.
Over .1 grams of dirt ?
I have many more dirtier coins and they are all within the tolerance range.
If it was under the tolerance range then you would have told me that it is worn.
I need FAIR critique .
I'm very disappointed with your illogical comments.

The Mint specs and collectors tolerances are two different things.
Collectors will tolerate +-5% before they take notice of a circulated coin, unless of course it's a wrong planchet strike.
You would have to weigh tens of thousands of these coins to establish it's rarity.
Till then it's interesting but not desirable for most.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

DBM it is the first time that I am hearing that out of the tolerance is still not good enough. So over 5% is the gauge
This would mean that a wrong planchet would be very hard to determine since many different planchets are under 5 % is weight difference.
I respect your comments nevertheless because it seems logical.
What I find unfair though, I had post a coin within the tolerance but just within.
I was told by folks here that it was still within tolerance hence not special.
I now post one outside the tolerance by as much 4 times and I am still told not specials I must pass 5 %.
It seems like I can never get credit for any coin that I post here.

There really is no magical tolerance # for a coin to become an error, but the weight difference will be large enough to be a wrong planchet strike as quarter on penny, nickel, dime, or foreign coins that the RCM strikes. Whether it's 4 or 6% weight difference the coin will look like a normal strike, most collectors if not all really don't care about minor errors, good thing with this coin is it's silver. |

OK, so it exceeds the mints tolerance on weight....Good thing, you got more silver there...  ...Bad thing, does this error bring any added premium above melt values? IMO, no because it's a circulated coin and I haven't seen any "heavy" coins in an auction solely for its weight..Just add it to your silver stack Edited: FYI, I believe Silviosi works for the RC Mint, so I would put value in what he contributes.....just saying...

I weighed the one I have on my desk, came out at 5.91, only a sample of one, but it wouldn't surprise me if more like it. I think it is either a PL or SP coin.

Purelywasted, that makes the most sense, because the coin stands out from the others with a glow. So you are most likely correct.
Either a PL or SP coin.
