<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Michael K, post: 24554644, member: 78298&quot;]To be struck on a foreign planchet the coin has to be smaller. (Foreign coins are not the same size/weight/metal content as US coins, except Panama and Bahamas (1-1 with the USD) and some of those are not the same anymore as well.) A larger coin would not fit, so it has to be smaller. It appears to be the correct size. It could have been struck on stock that was a little thinner than normal. The regular weight is&nbsp; 11.34g&nbsp; at 10.61 it&#039;s .73 of a gram light and is a little lighter than the +.454&nbsp; tolerance. Not enough to be significant.</p><p><br /></p><p>That being said, the previous posters are correct. Acid has eaten away at some of the coin and reduced the weight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
