He brought it by to show me and others are in agreement that it is not right. What's your opinions? It weighs correct 16.7 grams (my first quote was 17.9) and looks OK but upon a closer inspection..... Edited by mds308 09/06/2012 12:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 12:04 pm 17.9 grams is overweight. These should weigh 16.7g. What are the dimensions? Diameter and thickness? ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 3:03 pm Nothing in the images screams fake. If the weight is good and it's not over-size then it's likely authentic. This is a common date with tens of thousands of genuine pieces out there. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

mds308 Pillar of the Community United States 1721 Posts	Posted 09/06/2012 3:32 pm I appreciate the help. My freind, who is a scrap gold buyer told me his number one coin buyer insists it is a fake. I offered him melt for it and he said he was taking it back to his seller. maybe his number one coin buyer is not number one. Report this Post to the Staff
