Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/10/2011 12:36 pm I do not think these are a counterfeit even though I am not real sure what these are supposed to weigh. The yellowing could be toning on the coin and the design isn't screaming fake to me. Do they attract to a magnet or anything? There is no US coin that should attract to a magnet at all unless its a 1943 steel cent Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/10/2011 2:28 pm I pulled mine out and snapped some quick photos of it and read the insert and it says the weight is supposed to be 26.730 grams (+- 0.400 grams) Report this Post to the Staff
