<p>[QUOTE="off_flan, post: 2997771, member: 87411"]If it's smaller than a nickel, does the whole design show on the coin? If not it could be a silver dime planchet and weigh 2.5 grams. If it is a silver cent-size planchet, it should weigh 3.63 grams. A bronze cent planchet from 1957 weighs 3.11 grams. Because coin silver is more dense than the bronze used in coining US cents the weight of a silver coin would be slightly higher. Coin silver has a density of 10.335 g/ml while "coin bronze" has a density of about 8.853 g/ml.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
