<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 26483091, member: 78298&quot;]While this post is 16 years old, a 2.43g coin that is supposed to be 2.5 is still within tolerance. Yes it could be worn, or a rolled thin planchet.</p><p>Always include photos.</p><p>Wrong planchet can easily be determined, that if you have full rims,</p><p>it is not a wrong planchet. As 99.9% of foreign coins have different dimensions in size and weight from US coins so they can&#039;t be substituted for them in machines, when they are usually worth much less.</p><p>Again photos can help. What coin weighs 2.43 grams that it could be a wrong planchet? It&#039;s not another US coin which would have to be a dime</p><p>as, the wrong planchet will ALWAYS have to be smaller as a larger planchet wouldn&#039;t fit in the coining press.</p><p>You can do a search for foreign coins of that size and weight, and the US used to mint coins from other countries (not sure if they still do) but the odds of a wrong planchet are very low. Photos would help. It&#039;s probably just a slightly underweight coin, which happens. They all aren&#039;t 2.5.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
