Greetings all,

It's been a while since I've been to the community, it's nice to be back. Here are a couple of pictures from one that a friend of mine is taking care of.
I would be grateful for your input and comments.
respect,
Liverpool

Something about that coin does not look right. The rim does not look right. I suspect that it is a fake. Could we have a close up of the other side?

Do you know the weight?

I have some of these that have pretty well defined details, but they are steel instead of silver. Check with a magnet.

Not a real one to me. Check also the weight of it.

Thanks for getting back to me, so far I'm starting to lean towards it being real. It is non-magnetic (this eliminates some fakes but not conclusive). It is from the estate of a once very wealthy well traveled 90 something year old women. She traveled a great deal before WW2 before their family lost a great deal during the bombings of London (This too eliminates some possibilities of it being fake). I am currently communicating with CNG, they have requested better pictures with the preliminary belief that it could be authentic. This again adds some hope that it is the real thing.
I am just the holder of the coin for a short time, a friend that is handling the estate has asked me to find out all I can on it, I had never heard of them until this event, hence here I am before the combined knowledge of the Community. It will be possibly a few days but I'll get some better pictures posted.
thanks with respect,
Liverpool

I'll take some time to dig out the scale for weight, I look forward to learning more.

There is some variation in weight for these dollars, but begin by comparing these stats: 39.5mm dia, 2.5mm thk, 27grams, .900 fine, density 10.31. My typical first check is to see if the coin is dia-magnetic, and if it is or is not, I go from there.
