    I bought a 1/10 APE on eBay and received it the other day. It looks exactly like is should. My measurements vary ever so slightly from what I'm finding as specs for this coin, though. I think they are well within the error range for my tools, but wondered what you guys think.

    Specs that I have found:
    Dia: 16.5 mm
    Thickness: 0.95 mm
    Weight: 3.112 gr

    My measurements:
    Dia: 16.5 mm
    Thickness: 1.0 mm
    Weight: 3.20 gr (the scale initially reads 3.12 then settles on 3.20)

    Close enough?

    Can you get a more accurate scale weight, calc the SG, or ask the LCS?
    Off by 1.25 Grains and thicker, hmmm...
