[QUOTE="Howard Black, post: 3533935, member: 97119"]It's 5.7g. I am still researching... I am thinking it may be "[URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/magnimat-test-planchet.194740/']Magnimat[/URL]" which the Mint experimented with while still designing the SBA dollar. It seems to be the same stuff -- nickel core with copper-nickel cladding, and no visible sandwich at the edge. Supposedly all pieces were accounted for, but that doesn't really mean anything. <g> A "bored" (i.e., mischievous) Mint employee could have slipped one into the mix for scheist und giggles.
