[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 22840, member: 669"]If I'm reading you correctly Gary, you are measuring from inside the rims. To illustrate Jody's comment, click on [URL=http://images.snapfish.com/33%3B%3C%3B65523232%7Ffp63%3Dwp%3E232%3B%3D4%3A%3B%3D724%3DXROQDF%3E2323592323346wp1lsi]this link[/URL] to see a 15mm coin being measured with metal verniers. Assuming that your measurements are correct, I'm suspicious of the '22 and really doubt that the '29 is genuine. .12 mm is definitely beyond the rounding accuracy of your vernier, so that makes the '22 vary from spec significantly, although not enough to be considered a broadstrike from somehow escaping the collar. The measurements in this case are inconclusive IMHO. The '29 is not only much wider, but noticeably heavier. Weight tolerances were tightly controlled, even extending to the use of filing "adjustment marks". IMHO the measurements in this case lean strongly in the wrong direction.[/QUOTE]
