<p>[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2624465, member: 76739"]Still confused. Common sense more copper more weight numbers don't add up. Copper rolled to a consistent measurement and weight. Nickel rolled to a consistent measurement and weight. Add all three together you get the weight of a quarter. Remove the two nickel layers you should get the exact weight of the copper. See where I'm coming from.<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/ldhair.11540/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/ldhair.11540/">ldhair Now if the copper sheet weighs more it's an improper copper sheet. Thus you will have improper quarter weight if you add nickel to it.</a>Basically all I'm trying to say is nickel sheet has a certain weight. The copper has a certain weight. When added together they equaled the weight of a quarter are whichever coinage being struck. So even if you run out of the nickel and just have copper remaining, and yes I agree the rolling machine stays at a standard thickness. It does not change the weight of the copper because it would change the weight of the finished product.<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/paddyman98.44615/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/paddyman98.44615/">paddyman98</a> According to my calculations it would be 3.32 grams missing both clad layers.This last sentence I totally agree with. Then the numbers would add up.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
