This was given to me by a forum member, if you look around the site they have more info scattered around. LINK

CCRS will be the first choice.
This site is not bad too.

Thanks everyone, I could not find any info. on weight on Canadian 5 cent. Maybe it is too late, going to sleep, will try again tomorrow.

If you bought the Charlton Coin book 2006 it has all ther info for the CDN coins.

What year coin are you looking for?

Thanks, any coin in 2000 weight 3.4g?

<< <i>Thanks, any coin in 2000 weight 3.4g? >>

according to Charlton, the 2000 Canadian 5¢ is also 3.95 grams.

Thanks, so I guess 3.4g would be too light to be a Canadian 5 cent, what would 3.4g be, other country?

There are too many countries to list.

Do you think that you have a Canadian nickel minted on a foreign planchet?

Or do you not know what you have?

Either way post a picture if you can.

I saw a U.S. nickel that is 3.4g so I was trying to figure out what country it could be from. I believe that the Canadian Mint produce nickel for the U.S. for a couple of year so I thought that it might be Canadian but I guess not.

LALASD4 no one but the U.S. produces U.S. coins.

No other countries have ever made American money, but America has made coins for dozens of other countries.

You may have a nickel minted on a foreign planchet.

Here are some error coins from Fred Weinberg.

Thanks, I seen those many times before but just can't figure out this 3.4g nickel.
