Hinkle Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 I have this coin it's 1945 (Open 9) variety. The weight is supposed to be 3.5 but this one is a bit heavier, weighing 3.87. Is there a difference between that. Really cool aluminum coin. Also this one has no mint letters, so this coin was minted in Monnaie de Paris, France.

VKurtB Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) Hmm, the lack of “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité” anywhere shocked me a little. I guess that came back later. Edited September 6, 2020 by VKurtB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmarguli Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 While Gadoury says 3.5g, Krause says 3.75g. Which is correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d tend to believe Gadoury in a disagreement, or any specialized source over a general one, but the weight on this one suggests otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
