Sandon Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Per the Coin World Almanac, the official weight of a Jefferson nickel is 5 grams, with a tolerance of plus or minus 0.194 grams. This means that an uncirculated nickel could weigh as little as 4.806 grams and as much as 5.194 grams. Your 1970-S nickel is well within the legal tolerance. powermad5000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
