DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 05/27/2023 6:26 pm I'm surprised it's that heavy. 3.15 would be in the normal range for a circulated coin. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

denny7000 Pillar of the Community Canada 1018 Posts	Posted 05/27/2023 6:49 pm First thought was a clogged reverse die but upon seeing the poor strike on both sides and a noticeable thin rim I believe thin planchette. It's also an "A" between denticles. I also thought the weight would be lighter. Coin frog what your theory? Edited by denny7000 05/27/2023 6:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
