U.K. 2019 50p difference in sound

#1 Unread post by Worldwide C »

Hi
For the last couple of months I have acquired 5 2019 shield 50ps that when pinged sound completely different to most 50ps in circulation.

I have done several tests on them to check if they are indeed different and these are my results.
these are the weights of all my 20 normal 2019 50ps that I have in my collection. By the way a 50p should weight 8grams.
8gx17
8.08g
8.06g
7.90g

Strange sounding 50ps (pictured above)
8gx2
8.06g
8.07g
8.08g

I know this might not be helpful but I’m trying to get this to as much people as possible to give a reasonable explination to this.
