I picked this one up recently and it weigh 12.74g. Looking at the NGC and Numista it seems that the specification is 15g.

I do not see much wear in the coin to have it under weight by 2.25g. Its non magnetic and sounds silver. Any idea if this is a fake ? If you have same type , could you share the weight ?

Regretably, Krause do not quote weight and silver content of this coin. I have 4 coins of this type. For your information, their weights and diameters:
1750 (F) 13.83 grams, 35.9-36.1mm
1811 (F-VF) 13.55 g, 35.4-35.8 mm
1813 (F) 13.90 g, 36.0-36.2 mm
1820 (VF)14.03 g, 35.4mm

I am suspicious the std. wt. of this coin is 15 grams.

Thank you that's really good to know. I also doubt the standard weigh is 15g.
