<p>[QUOTE="thomas mozzillo, post: 4900264, member: 75914"]The "sound test" is one of the least accurate ways to determine the metal composition of a coin. The weight of wartime nickels is the same as all the other Jefferson Nickels. (5g +/- .194g). 4.7g is slightly under the allowable tolerance. Your nickel is worn so that could account for it or it could've been minted on a thin planchet. The best way to obtain the composition of a coin is by an XRF machine. Check if your LCS or Jeweler has one. Then have it analyzed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
