Wiener Philharmoniker 1.50 Euro

I know nothing about the European system except back in the 70's and 80's Germany was nice lol
I think that Dave had a few of these and don't see a reason for him to go on the other side of the line. it could be my scale I have two though so will put it on the other one today and see what happens

I just put it on my freshly calibrated Triton 2 and it is now 31.3g so it must be gook

According to Krause it should be 31.103g. What is the diameter? It should be 37mm.

I have 37.25 MM

I just pulled it out put it on the scale and Digital caliper. and now it is a bit different than yesterday lol
here are the numbers I get today after a good nights sleep and wide awake lol
anyway the thickness is 3.17 wight is 31.3 and width is 37.03. I calibrated both tools I used to get these numbers. I looked at it under the microscope at 30X and it looks like it has a copper wash over it. I didn't mess with the obv or rev but did wipe the edge with a cotton gloved hand and it wipes off without any force at all. kind of like a copper colored oil. I want to drill a small spot on the edge but am not going to do that. I trust wd1040 so I am not going to worry about it.
thanks all

I don't have a clue if they could be fake or not. try asking the guy you got the from if there is a tolerance or not. if there is no tolerance then I would say fake but this is the only one I have seen and knowing you I think I can trust you so if it is fake I know you didn't sale them knowing it.

here is a interesting story about these 1,5 Euro One ounze austrian silver coins.
when they were issued, the banks issued them at a price of 1,5 Euro.
this caused tons of German "tax investors) (austria is a tax heaven) to buy these coins and bring them LEGALLY and tax free back to germany where they sold them for the silver value and hence made their illegal money legal... commonly called "money Laundering". except this one was legal.

Yes, that story came up, in late June/early July, in "Der Spiegel" for example. And shortly afterwards there were a few other stories about how this was obviously from the Tales & Legends Dept.

Just think for a few seconds. Yes, it is true that you don't have to declare cash with a face value below €10,000 at the external and internal borders of the European Union. So yes, theoretically you could make money from the difference between the face value and the "market value" based on the silver content.

However, if you buy such a coin in Austria, you pay 20 percent VAT on top. If you buy the same coin in Germany, you pay 7 percent only. Guess what happens if you later want to sell them in Germany ...

Another question is, if you want to transport the equivalent of those €10,000 in Silver Phils, you would have to shlep a lot of coins. Sorry, sounds like a good story, but is simply not realistic.
