This coin seems to be weighted so to favor one side of the coin. When spinning the coin on the table it always comes up head.

Can others please try this with their Silver Maples and confirm this with other Maple coins. The coin year I'm using is 2016.

I've spun the coin about 50x now and every time it comes up heads.
 
Peter had heard from Princeton mathematician John Conway (famous geometer and inventor of "the game of life") that he had a great deal of experience with both the spin and the tilt experiments. In fact Conway would tell students that he could empower them to get more heads or more tails whichever they wanted. He would ask them which they wanted, warning them that they would have to live the rest of their life with the empowerment he gave them. If they choose heads he would have them carry out the tilt experiment resulting in about 85% heads and if they choose tails he would have do the spin experiment getting around 40% heads.

Tomasz Gliszczynski and Waclaw Zawadowski believe that the one euro coin bias is due to the fact that the head side is heavier than the tail side

This was my thought too. Nice to have a coin that is weighted to my favor.
