Weighed in at 4.6 grams has environmental or striking issues? Edges are severely gashed almost semetricly. Any experienced eyes out there? Would be greatly appreciated.

publius Pillar of the Community United States 807 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 12:45 pm This is of course the silver-copper-manganese alloy coin, containing no nickel. The metal is appreciably softer than the usual composition. Report this Post to the Staff
jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 12:50 pm To my experienced eye, something is off about this coin. It doesn't have the look of a 35% silver coin--looks more like a true 75% copper/25% nickel coin. Anybody else? Edited by jpsned 06/13/2023 12:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 4:19 pm Looks normal with the exception of the intentional damage to the rim. a little light in weight, but the wear can explain that. - but the title states 2.7 grams - that threw me off for a second.

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1484 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 5:36 pm Check that weight again. Should be 5 grams (or a little under due to wear). Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 6:34 pm Title is incorrect - 4.6g is the weight shown in the text. Seems reasonable. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 7:04 pm yep correct, incorrect weight in the title line. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
