Went to weigh it and was surprised to find its almost a full gram lighter! I know this can be due to a thin planchet, but it doesn't look to be any thinner than the 2005s I have on the outside of the picture of the rim. Could this be a wrong planchet? Like something from a foreign denomination? Any information is greatly appreciated! Report this Post to the Staff
