[QUOTE="Bmmartin, post: 3221352, member: 98956"]Hi Michael! Those were the numbers I came in thinking 2.5/2.27 I tried to do a line up, but honestly, they looked about the same. I stacked five on top of each other . . . it's very negligible (but at least you can see the edges). I used calipers to check diameter - all really close (sorry, no pictures of that). I also took a photo of both sides. I think a lot of the mushiness from the scale picture is from haze so I illuminated the front (to show the haze). I think it's probably a slightly thinner planchet, but it was just odd to me because it's only 88% of it's expected weight 2.2g/2.5g. However, 12% of a really small thickness is not that much, so based off the edging, the thin planchet makes sense. Anyway, here's the photos for ya'll to look at :) Sorry, I really can't photograph![ATTACH=full]838734[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]838735[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]838736[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]838737[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
