I hope for better opinions than mine. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 05/01/2025 09:07 am Depends a bit on the accuracy of your scales. Range of weights for these is about 9.1 to 9.7g, so 10g is not too far out. 1950, of course, is a much scarcer date, so a copy is not out of the question. Report this Post to the Staff

Safi Valued Member United Kingdom 69 Posts	Posted 05/01/2025 10:47 am thank you jbuck and paddyb, my others of this date range from 9.5 for the 1896 and 9.5/7 for the 1950, I do like the toning I prefer these and the chocolate brown ones to the luster variety. Report this Post to the Staff
