[QUOTE="bantha421, post: 24878811, member: 104514"]No I flick it in the air with my thumb and catch it like a 1930's gangster, cigarette and fedora not included. I guess you could drop it on a hard surface, but that would just potentially damage the coin and the table. I have never once found a wrong planchet error, and the odds are slim to none for finding one in the wild. If I came across an absolute mint condition coin that I suspected might be a planchet error. Then I may rely solely on a scale. But when the difference in weight can be a few tenths of a gram off and the coin has some wear, I am more inclined to go off sound along with weight.[/QUOTE]
