[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 8578026, member: 84179"]No idea if this is your Snoop Dog coin in the OP from a few years ago or something new. The Mint stopped making foreign coins in the 1980s and Denver stopped in the mid 70s. No current US planchet is normally found in the 4.15 gram range A thin strip planchet is punched to the correct diameter so it will strike up as the correct diameter. Only the thickness will vary depending on the thickness of the misrolled strip. Some thin rolled strip errors can still have decent strikes depending on thickness and press set up The gold tone leaves me suspicious because coloration like that rarely comes from the mint. It's usually plating or environmentally induced Send it to ANACS for attribution, otherwise you're just going to keep coming up with wild, unlikely speculations.[/QUOTE]
