lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 5:26 pm How much does it weigh? With weakness on both sides might be a thin planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 5:35 pm Yes, an accurate weight--to two decimal places--would be good to know. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
ghousejr Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 5:35 pm Thanks guys! I have been coming across some really cool finds these last couple days. @ lawest it weighs 3.00 G on the dot. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95981 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 7:39 pm the weight was my first thought too, at 3.00g it is not that light for such a weak strike. There is a nice die clash on the reverse but not the obverse. The major area of weakness is in the same spot on both sides - maybe a tilted planchet or die? Collecting since 1972.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 7:46 pm There is a die clash on the obverse, the horizontal line by 19 and maybe column marks behind and in front of head? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95981 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 9:15 pm maybe, but with all the damage and contact marks - we would need better images to know for sure.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 04:11 am I am 99% certain the horizontal line by 19 is part of a die clash. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95981 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 08:14 am Can we get close up images around the 19 area? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95981 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 08:14 am How about an overlay too? Please? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

ghousejr Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 09:23 am Hey fellas, I just now seen your request for close ups. I have a couple things I need to get done this morning real quick then I will take a couple for you as soon as possible. @ Dearborn I apologize for asking but what do you mean by an overlay exactly?

Dearborn Moderator United States 95981 Posts	Posted 05/22/2024 09:42 am An over lay is something some of our folks can do - they superimpose the two sides of a coin. Then we can see where the die clashes are expected to be. It is a trick they do with image software (something I've yet to learn to do well) Collecting since 1972.
