coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/02/2021 4:46 pm I feel this is an altered coin. Why? Note the full rim on the reverse. That tells me that the obverse had one also, but was removed from the coin. What is the weight of your coin. Is should be less than 3.11 grams. If the weight is 3.11 then it might be interesting. But a thinned planchet would be weak on both sides of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3733 Posts	Posted 10/02/2021 7:43 pm @newbie5673, you can find very inexpensive digital scales accurate to 1/100 gram on Amazon. I think I paid only $20 or so for mine a few years ago. And, Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.
