Spence Moderator United States 34562 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 9:25 pm Ok yes the diameter seems pretty normal then. It could have been encased or in a bezel to damage the rims and outer bit of the fields. Think the frog was right! By the way, I use a brass analog Vernier that measures to the nearest 0.1 mm and cost me about $5. They are more commonly used in the jewelry industry I think.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/01/2022 2:44 pm Best to not remove them from the holders. Why? Because they are just a damage coin when removed. In the holder they are still worth something. Seen several coins damaged in the encasements when removed were damage by squeezing them into the holders. Report this Post to the Staff
