Any thoughts or help with this would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Quote: "aaronmgd"silly question - Is your scale calibrated?yes it is. 100%
Quote: "glykan"One possible explanation is that your coin is not 0.925 silver KM#6a (which according to Krause should weight 25.7 g) but copper-nickel KM#6. Though Krause doesn't bother to give the weight of the copper-nickel version, I've seen it before with other crown-sized modern coins - the non-silver versions are significantly lighter.thanks glykan for info. I believe my coin is copper nickel . i bought last year from ebay . and its looks like not silver .
Look at the color of the coin (it's difficult to judge by your picture) - silver versions are usually more whitish-silverish whereas copper-nickel versions are usually a bit darker with "nickelish" color to it.
Quote: "aaronmgd"Very possible numista has it wrong...thanks aaronmgd. I had weight with two different scales. And same weight !
Quote: "aaronmgd"Very possible numista has it wrong...I've just checked several older editions of Krause but there isn't any edition where the weight of the copper-nickel dollar is mentioned. I also can't find it anywhere on the internet. So I don't know where the weight of this coin in our catalog comes from, it might indeed be wrong.
Quote: "Essor Prof"thanks @Essor prof. i haven't noticed someone here have the same coin.

I only have a silver dollar, not a copper nickel one so I can't check it, but as you can see here (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3397.html) Andrey78 has one on his swap list. You can send him a message and ask if he can weigh his coin.
