Any numisfags who can help me? I just bought a sovereign (Elizabeth, early 70s) from a fairly respectable LCS. Also have a George from the early 20s I bought off apmex.

The george is a little thicker (.1mm) and has a slightly smaller diameter(also about .1mm) than the elIzabeth. The Elizabeth also weighs exactly 8.000 grams, whereas the George is 7.98 or whatever sovereigns are supposed to be.

I will recalibrate my scale if i have to, presumably the George was actually in circulation so if the scale us off it could explain the difference… but are there tiny differences in dimensions between the coins? I’m thinking about going back with my calipers/scale and trying to return/swap it.

Pic shows the tiny difference when they’re stacked
