[QUOTE="acollin892, post: 3015399, member: 86688"]Hello everyone! Thank you all very much for your feedback and posts! It's great seeing some of your own coins! :D Mine came in today, I'm posting some more detailed pictures. My scale is not super precise - only gave me a weight of 3 grams even.[B] [/B]I will weigh it using an analytical balance at my laboratory on Friday and will give you a more precise, a [I]very precise[/I] answer. [B]3 grams - 0.11 oz - 0.007 lb. Diameter: 17 mm.[/B] If you convert the weights above, it should come in somewhere around [B]3.11-3.18 grams. [/B] Some things to note: The apparent cracks below Hadrian's chin and above the scorpion are pushed outwards on both sides of the image. As suggested by [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] - this might be something that got locked in there during production, or perhaps after.. not sure - what do you guys think? Further, on some of the images showing the sides of the coin, you can see that there appears to be a somewhat drastic change in color from the silver to the bland grayish coloring; I was wondering if this might suggest that it is plated in a layer of silver? I might be completely off on that haha :woot: Otherwise, everything feels pretty good about it.. Let me know your thoughts! Thank you!!
