Guy Parry New Member Australia 12 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 03:58 am Hi guys, I have been slowly collecting Latin and South American crowns, and I'm down to the lest few hard-to-get countries - nothing special, just good examples of the main issues without rim dings. I've done pretty well so far, but this one has me concerned. Weight is 24.93 grams, it rings and is non-magnetic, but diameter is only 36mm and it is thicker than I was expecting. The rim also seems wrong to me. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 07/08/2014 08:54 am I can't see anything wrong with your coin, Parry. Let you see my coin for comparison. Mine is 24.80 grams, 35.3mm. Report this Post to the Staff

Guy Parry New Member Australia 12 Posts	Posted 08/14/2014 6:55 pm Thanks guys. Is it usual for these coins to have reverse and obverse not perfectly opposed. In other words, with a slight angle? Report this Post to the Staff

dosmundos Valued Member Germany 194 Posts	Posted 08/19/2014 05:14 am Coin is okay, you can also observe the typical die break connecting the nine stars under the shield. I guess it had to do with the thick planchets that had been used... Report this Post to the Staff
