<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 3909446, member: 78298&quot;]Combined with the thin planchet possibility, there is a great deal of wear from 80 years of circulation which could have taken a little weight off.</p><p>If the coin was AU/MS and had that weight it would be better than a coin that is</p><p>worn down to the nub. There are always questions. How accurate is the scale? Did you weigh other &quot;control&quot; nickels, which all came out at 5.0? Was it ever in acid at anytime in the last 80 years? That would eat away the metal and happens a lot.</p><p>While the tolerance is +/- 0.194 grams and 4.7 is just under that because of the extreme wear it&#039;s not really enough to be worth a premium. And since the 1939&nbsp; minted 120 million, they are still found in circulation today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
