@Brad93d Have a look here: http://www.error-ref.com/?s=collar There is some useful information on that page that might help you with diagnosis....
@furryfrog02 It was 5.1 grams as I recall. I was pouring over the Henning dates weighing each one but elected to do the look under...

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] 1939 Henning Nickel (most valuable). 1914 Gold Ducat (most unexpected).
