It looks somewhat like a human stick figure with horns. Is anyone familiar with this chopmark (or maybe it is a countermark?). Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 02/06/2023 09:23 am It looks like a Mexico 2R that has been heavily trimmed. How much does it weigh? Maybe marked to signify underweight? The adjustment marks on it are interesting....but in this condition there's no concern about it being overweight.... "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime."

The weight is 5.458 grams. @jgenn: Did you mean the trimming when you said there was an obvious problem with the host coin? Or are you suggesting it is a fake? Report this Post to the Staff
