[QUOTE="Dougmeister, post: 2399376, member: 56842"]The coin counter spit this out yesterday. It sounds *very* different when dropped (rather "dull" sounding). It weighs 11.0 grams. Edit: Wikipedia gives these weight (no tolerance deltas, though): [INDENT][SIZE=3][I]Copper-nickel clad: 11.34 g[/I] [I]40% silver clad: 11.50 g[/I] [I]90% silver: 12.50 g[/I][/SIZE][/INDENT] I think I see a crack running around the outside edge of the reverse? 1) Is it a trick coin? 2) If so, any tips on opening it? I found another a few months ago, but it had a British penny as the back, do it was rather obvious. And easier to open.[/QUOTE]
