US 50 Cents 1900. Something tipped me off that this coin might be counterfeit. 8.11 g; 30.12 mm - 30.42 mm diameter (30.6 mm nominal); 1.71 mm thick vs. 2.15 mm nominal.
Fascinating!

Hmm, Looks like I'll be adding another one to the database.
I've got one of those (I think :/) with the exact same mark on the reverse, that I put down to being a flaw in the coin, as opposed to a flaw in the die. Seems I better dig mine out and compare the two.

mrwiskers, two years ago I posted this SLQ with the same hint. The counterstamp looks the same.
