wquinn Pillar of the Community United States 2295 Posts	Posted 05/10/2012 09:35 am It does have a strange look to it. Maybe it is a cast counterfeit? And it is strange he missed the S mintmark on it. I asked him a question about the mintmark on why it isn't in the description. He might have just missed it. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 05/12/2012 3:02 pm Given Steve's confirmation of my suspicion, I wrote to the seller, suggesting that he weigh it and check the weight in the Red Book. Report this Post to the Staff
