<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NOS, post: 38471, member: 2098&quot;]&quot;I&#039;m also struggling to find a silver coin from that period that would have an `A&#039; in that location.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>As we have found it is an over struck coin from an earlier time period.

I had to go through some hoops to get this done but I did it. My uncle had a mini electric scale but it rounded the grams up or down so then we used an old manual scale and we came up with the following figures:</p><p><br /></p><p>One, we weighed a 2001 zinc penny at 2.51 grams and my book has those at 2.50 grams so that is a nice match. Before that though we weighed a empty holder of the same size with 4 staples, the same as my coin in its holder at 2.50 grams. Then we weighed the 1704 coin in its holder at 4.72 grams and subtracted 2.50 to equal 2.22 grams for the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
