[QUOTE="doug444, post: 1478617, member: 38849"]I have a sterling silver 1987 Falkland Islands PROOF £1 coin in a case. Krause does not make it clear how to distinguish the silver "proof set" strike and the silver "Piefort" strike, catalog numbers #KM-24a and #P-1 respectively. I have no means of weighing the coin. What made me ask was a listing on eBay, which supposedly offered the more common Proof Set strike, but it was in a different-color (green, official Falklands) case than mine (brown, official Falklands), which made me think my coin might be the more-valuable Piefort. The key question is, what are the thicknesses of the two coins? It doesn't do any good for someone to say the Piefort is twice as thick, because I have nothing to compare it to. I need millimetres!
