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 Grin Grin

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.

I don't think that's too far out and probably is genuine - a nice find.

Mick can you post a pic of reverse as well and when peter confirms I.D i'll put it in database....fake or not.
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??

I would say it was struck in the Spring of 1605, could be as late as March 31st, but most probably...
