<p>[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3732274, member: 84179"]Not sure I understand your comment, but overweight/underweight coins that are not PMD are usually caused by a mistake in the strip rolling process. This is the part of the manufacturing process where the metal sheet stock is rolled to the specified thickness. If it's rolled a little thinner or thicker, then the punched planchet and subsequently the coin will be lighter or heavier. In some cases, it's rolled to a specified thickness, but for the wrong coin, i.e. Dime to the quarter thickness spec. In this case, you can calculate what the resulting weights should be for this type of error. Hope this clarifies things[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
