I think whoever was the referee was wrong to delete your request, just because you stated something different from the standard recognised dimensions.
If you have time, take a look at the East Caribbean States 2 dollar coins,some of which I have added. It is the gold plated copper-nickel series 'Great British Military Leaders'.
Numista, NGC and Krause all had the weight wrongly listed as 56.56gms and listed it as a Piedfort. This is the information on the certificate. Westminster Mint will not investigate as I did not buy coins directly from them.
All of the coins I have in my collection, of this series, weigh 40gms and are not Piedforts.
I requested a change of weight on Numista and this was accepted, but Krause have not returned my email.
I had the same reply before. A referee prefered to use the official weight rather than the actual weight.
I measure and weight every coin in my collection with digital equipment.
To his defense I might add that the Pakistan 50 Rs 2016 varies in weight from 5.0 to 6.1 gramms, so what is actual ? :-)
But in general, when it is official, it does not mean it is right ... That experience comes by the years I guess.
