User1975 Valued Member United Kingdom 228 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 5:47 pm Hello everyone. I have a LMC that appears as though the copper plating has completely come off, that said it still weighs 2.5 grams. Wouldn't it weighs less if the plating had been removed, also its non magnetic. Thanks in advance for comments.cheers Alun Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34402 Posts	Posted 07/16/2023 8:54 pm Ok sounds good. To be clear though, we just need the number, not a picture of the scale showing that number. My concern is that so far you seem to be weighing this coin to the nearest 0.1 g.
