Enyaw Valued Member Canada 458 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 1:28 pm I recently picked up some fifty cent coins from my bank that were in coin tubes. The teller said they came from an older collector. I was looking at the coins in the 1984 tube and I noticed that some were thinner than others. So, I checked the weights, and they ranged from 7.92g to 8.23g and I was wondering if that is a normal variance range from the documented 8.1g weight. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21584 Posts	Posted 03/02/2025 2:21 pm The mints variation is based on coins per kilogram so as long as as a kilogram is within the variation specs, it is within spec. There can be some coins lighter and some heavier and still be in spec. Report this Post to the Staff
