<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 4971360, member: 26302"]Weights and size can vary greatly. You are correct that since these were token coinage, weights were not strictly controlled. The main reason weights and sizes come into concern is differentiating Class A1, A2, and A3 issues. Generally, as the issues get newer, (save for Class A1 vs A2), the issues get smaller and lighter, but individual examples within an issue vary greatly. Yours, as I noted, was much larger than average for the issue, which is a very good thing. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
