I have these coins that I weighed and got different weights, any thoughts on it?

    Most folks would call that design a Jefferson nickel. Regarding the weight, I will let others chime in.

    I believe that U.S. Nickels have a weight tolerance of 2 grains, meaning they can be up to two grains heavier or lighter.

    Both of your nickels are within tolerance. With a + of.19g,
    anywhere between 4.81 and 5.19 is acceptable.
