Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 11/27/2023 1:19 pm I don't think the coin has that much wear and I have a second one very similar to that. At first I thought it was the bronze one until I read it's supposed to be heavier not lighter.lol Could wear account for that much difference? Are there fake ones out there?

I am not one, so will await their input. You could see if this helps: http://goccf.com/t/448237 Edited by Sharks 11/27/2023 3:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5604 Posts	Posted 11/27/2023 6:29 pm Since 1 pound equals 453.8 grams, the weight is correct taking a little off for wear. They made the 58's and '59's so that 100 equaled a pound and 12 laid side by side was a foot. It looks real, not fake Edited by okiecoiner 11/27/2023 6:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
