I suppose their economy was different in 1972 as far as value of 5 shillings. My daughter gave me a 500, 200 and 100 shilling, and the total is...
You could look at it this way - the thickness of a Morgan dollar is supposedly 2.40mm. Your coin is 5% light. 5% thinner/lighter would be a 0.12mm...

(Emphasis mine). No, you hadn't "answered that." This was your third response to me and this is the first time you mentioned seeing faint...
