Bought this coin from ebay and it looks suspicious to me. It weighs 19.77 grams according to my scale, has a 40 mm diameter and is NOT magnetic, so everything checks out on paper.

BUT, its toning looks weird, the denticles on the edge seem wrong and it doesn't have that silvery pinging sound... Anyway, I would greatly appreciate any opinions on it.

Looks OK to me the weight, diameter and it was probably kept in an open holder so it toned around the edges , may I ask how much you bought it for?

Managed to get it for a very cheap $5 including shipping, only had 2 other bids... Seller did not know anything about the coin, pic was very blurry, so I figured it was a good chance to get a good price.
