machine20 Pillar of the Community United States 1277 Posts	Posted 12/22/2013 5:07 pm Hey, Do you all this this coin is genuine? I got it a few years ago from my grandpa's collection. I'm asking because I know there were some counterfeit coins in the collection. The scale I have is only precise to the nearest gram. It reads 6 grams, so no red flags there.

artdio Pillar of the Community 1844 Posts	Posted 12/22/2013 5:45 pm well the actual weight is 5.81 grams so your scale could be off a bit.. I see no markings that would suggest counterfeit , but the pic is dark... By the way nice coin..What were the counterfeit coins Report this Post to the Staff
