Title: fake or not?? Post by: mickycoin "mick" on March 30, 2010, 11:49:52 AM hi peter i found this coin sunday around the kidwelly area, i have put a picture on of the coin already, but will post the best side again to refresh your memory, question, as the coin onlys weighs 2.4 grams is it a fake??, the coin is silver, but at lastnights meeting everyone who picked the coin up commented on how light the coin was, is there a set weight for this coin?? thanks for your time peter mickycoin mick ;D ;D
Title: Re: fake or not?? Post by: Chef Geoff on March 30, 2010, 12:02:46 PM It does sound a bit light but how accurate are your scales?
they usually weigh in more around 2.7g, so you wouldn't notice the difference in your hand. Title: Re: fake or not?? Post by: mickycoin "mick" on March 30, 2010, 12:08:10 PM hi Geoff, i think they are quite accurate, but feel a lot happyer already as .o3 of a gram isnt that far out thanks for your reply mickycoin mick ;D ;D
Title: Re: fake or not?? Post by: The Doc on March 30, 2010, 05:45:59 PM I don't think that's too far out and probably is genuine - a nice find.

saw it last night it is a strange one i'll admit put the weight is very very close. could ground conditions have caused the pitting?? Title: Re: fake or not?? Post by: zorro on March 30, 2010, 05:48:53 PM peter can you I.D it just from the obverse side?

Title: Re: fake or not?? Post by: The Doc on March 30, 2010, 07:04:56 PM Looking at both sides, I still think this is genuine.
