<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 2006761, member: 66"]It would only take a slight change in thickness (about 4%) of the 65/35 coin to give you the same weight for both coins. For example if the 88/12 coin was 1.5 mm thick the 65/35 coin would only have to be 1.57 mm thick to have the same weight (assuming the same diameter) A .07 mm increase in thickness would be hard to detect visually. Especially considering the edge thickness across a struck coin will vary depending on the strength of the strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
