I just weighed my coin and it came out at exactly 5.40 gr while all sources I have found list the weight as 5.54 gr.
KM# 18 is listed on Numista and elsewhere as 5.40 gr but my coin is clearly KM# 39 (no FM mintmark and legend starts "THE COMMONWEALTH" not "COMMONWEALTH" as on KM# 18. Both numbers include a 1973 date (the date of the last KM# 18 and the only date of KM# 39). My coin is not badly worn so wear due to circulation cannot account for the weight difference. Any ideas? Could all the sources on the weight of KM# 39 be wrong? My scale has been weighing other coins just fine.
Thanks for any information.
Will
