[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 186481, member: 112"]They were pretty exact. These are the tolerances - maximum - 27.2638 grams minimum - 26.8646 grams Any coin above or below those weight was either adjusted with a file ( which is why you see adjustment marks ) or flat out rejected and melted. But as I said, in this case it is not the weight which bothers me. And I don't think that is a weak strike - I think it is damage. What bothers me is the blob of metal for one, another is the soapy appearance, another is the somewhat mushy details on legends and devices, and another is what appears to be casting bubbles.[/QUOTE]
