Sap Moderator Australia 16857 Posts	Posted 05/29/2011 6:28 pm Is the lighter one clearly thinner than the other? If not, then I'd say both are "thick flan". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
gundars New Member Latvia 5 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 04:53 am Thanks for answers! It's hard to say if there is "thick flan" or "thin flan". I can't find on internet photo were I can see clear difference from "thick flan" and "thin flan". It's looks more that these coins are 900.2 if I look only to coins weight. If someone has clear picture with difference of "thick flan" and "thin flan", please share it. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
karrlot Pillar of the Community United States 535 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 08:14 am I hate trying to identify varieties when you have no idea which one you have or if you have both. I agree with Sap. Two good points: The identification is not going to impact the value of the coin! Noone is ever going to look at your identification and say "You got the wrong one!" Report this Post to the Staff
gundars New Member Latvia 5 Posts	Posted 05/30/2011 08:35 am to karrlot Yes I also hate this process when you can't find info about coins varieties. There is no question about coins value, these coins basically have equal small value. The only thing which cares me is if I have one more coin in my collection(I collect by type) or not. Really no one is interested to check your collection accounting besides your self. But I think every collector is trying to make this accounting more precise, just for self. Thanks to all for comments and suggestions. :) Report this Post to the Staff
