Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/06/2026 4:02 pm Odd, that looks a bit like a lobster being run over by the horse. @new, if the information is included in this auction, can you please add the weight and diameter of this piece to your thread? Thx.

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/07/2026 1:53 pm @new, yes it is a problem that this example weighs 6.0 g, when the actual coin weighs 2.3g. The diameter is correct so that means that either this is the wrong alloy of metal or the wrong thickness.
