How come it only weighs 2.5 gms?
Should be closer to 3-3.1.
You checked your scale?

You have it reversed. Copper planchets weigh 3.10g, and the zinc ones 2.5g.

The Red Book can be quite confusing .

Sorry, stash,I misread your post. I thought you said it was on a copper planchet.
I must have seen the "coppercoins" website, and thought it was a copper coin..?
As the kids say...."My bad!"
