It weighs 3.2 -/+0.1 grams and it's not magnetic. I gave the story of how I acquired them in one of my prior posts above.

The area at the E PL including the top of O is a notoriously weak area for wheats. My understanding is it caused by metal flow into the lower bust area on the obverse. Lots of metal filling the bust area leads to a weakness on the corresponding area of the reverse. The same principle applies to Cuds. There is a weak area of the design in back of the Cud caused by metal flowing into the huge die break.

As I said before I have six of these coins all with almost identical wear, almost identical characteristics and defects , only with different dates. These are definitely counterfeits. Their dates range from 1918 to 1931. So we are not talking about the same batch of coins from one year. I would have loved to know when these were made and if they are documented some where.... They show some age but that may be also part of the counterfeiting process.

ray123,

That is an interesting set of coins. I apologize for being slow to what you were describing. As for sending them to be graded, I don't think a TPG would/could grade them. PCGS would send them back in Mylar flips with an attached sticker claiming 'Questionable Authenticity.' This happened to me with a gold coin I sent in about 2 years ago. I'm sure there are people who collect various counterfeits (assuming yours are) but finding them would probably be achieved through Google. Also, if there are certain known counterfeiters who are more desirable, attributing your coins to him/her would be beneficial. I hope somebody else chimes in with more and better information.

mds308: I am pretty sure they won't be graded as I am 100 percent sure they are counterfeits. To me they are interesting because whoever made them didn't try to counterfeit uncirculated coins or much rarer coins. My Google search hasn't helped so far to find the right place/people to sell these.
