2001 D Sacagewea is off color dark - Environmental toning? and it weighs 7.93 grams

Just got back from the dispensary. I always ask around town if they have half dollars and or golden quarters, here in vegas I find them alot alot, anyway. She said she had 13 and I bought 9 of them and have walked home and weighed them and looked for any known action I know about on the Sacagewea coins (some) ... and this one coin stands out. Its darker , like a chocolate ( I have read about them being out there ) but the weight, its 7.93 over and over and over.... thats a little low, isnt it? Book says all Sacagewea's are 8.1

hang on, let me get settled and il post a pic. Is 7.93 way out of range? Whats making it so light.... all layers appear present.

The other 8 are standard 2001 p ... But this guy stands out. What's up here?

 

First off mind if I ask why this started with one member asking and another posting the photos? Do you have 2 accounts?

Now for your questions. While I do not collect or search through Sacagewea Dollars, to me this looks like a normal one that has seen a lot of circulation. I also believe the weight @7.93g is within tolerance for one of these. While most of these coins will weigh exactly 8.1g not all of them will. That's why there is a small tolerance in the weights of all coins.

 

Accidentially have 2 accounts going, one was on my laptop I just JUST got and the other my android phone. Thanks for your response

 

The toning is not unusual for the earliest of the Sac dollars. If I recall, the Mint had a problem with an improper rinse of the blanks/planchets.

Normal.. Within tolerance. Dark color is most likely Environmental Toning.
