Hi I found this 1970s nickel in pocket change the other day it weighs 5.12 I have used my scale as well as a friend's both say same. I have weighed other nickels as well and they all been the normal weight. Is it on wrong thing or with in limits? Not finding much on web or not found right sites yet. Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks.
