<p>[QUOTE="Strik9, post: 17252364, member: 112403"]I know this is going to be one of those head-scratching, why the he** could I not figure this out on my own, but nonetheless, I am here because I am done racking my brain trying to "solve" an issue that I simply cannot do on my own. Hence, I am hoping that someone here can set me straight. </p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, so I have 3 different 1971-S Eisenhower coins: one is a proof that I had removed from the GSA-style slab; the second is the uncirculated Ike (plilofilm, blue envelope). And a third is another proof that was cherrypicked from a proof set. The first two coins (individually) weigh 24.6g -- just as they should. However, the third proof weighs 25.1g. Huh?</p><p><br /></p><p>Someone PLEASE tell me what I am missing here, because for the life of me, I cannot find ANY 1971-S Ike that weighs 25.1g!
