I came across this nickel and it seemed thin just to the touch. So I compared it to older ones and it is smaller in circumference, I don't have a way to measure it right but something visible to the eye in circumference is more than one would think. next I put it on the scales and was surprised to see it only weighed 3.6 grams verses the 5.1 a normal nickel would.
Of course my hope is that it was stuck on the wrong planchet .
I took a few pictures of it the side shot is it up next to a 1858 penny, notice how it is thinner than this worn penny.
Is it possible it is on the wrong stock ? If so how can I verify this ?
Thanks....
