wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 12/26/2012 09:28 am Hello all, if you own this coin, could you tell me the weight of it as the World Coin Catalog can't provide a correct weight in this case. It seems the weight range of this coin is quite big, from 24.53 to 26+ grams that I asked for those ebay sellers when I found any. I own two coins, one is 26.50 grams (37.4mm) and the other 26.25 grams (37.4mm). Also is there anyone who have seen counterfeit of this coin? Thank you for your comments.

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 12/26/2012 10:34 am According to Numista it should be only 19.79 grams. Is that what you mean by Quote: ... the World Coin Catalog can't provide a correct weight in this case. ? Report this Post to the Staff

wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 12/26/2012 6:22 pm Yes, the standard weight 19.79 is not correct in the World Coin Catalogue. I had asked for the weight of this coin from each seller who sold this coin and got the weight value from 24-26+ grams. If someone who possess this coin, he/she can report a weight here.
