Alfa New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 04/05/2009 7:54 pm The thickness of the 1oz Vienna Philharmonic (2009) seems to deviate from the published figure! Published on the Internet (in multiple places, but not the Austrian mint): 2mm. Measured: 1.9mm! This is consistent across a few coins. To measure precisely such a thin item, stack a few together, divide the measured thickness by the number of coins. The width deviates a little. 37.05mm instead of 37mm. It could be a measurement mistake (but I don't think so). The weight of the coin is right on spot. Could anybody publish their own measurements? Report this Post to the Staff

I measured 37.00 mm exactly with my digital caliper. My weight was 31.30g... I calibrated the scale with a 100g weight that came with it, but the scale isn't top dollar... neither is the caliper for that matter but it matched the expected value exactly. Didn't think I could get a width measurement without scratching the coin... Edited by fairuser 04/20/2009 5:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff

wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 04/20/2009 8:23 pm Just a question for rggoodie, is gold heavily controlled in Australia? As in do you have to register it with the government or something like that? Report this Post to the Staff
