Hi,

Please

1) assign a grade and

2) opine on the authenticity

of this coin using the characteristics provided below.

Take note that the multiple OD values are a result of the fact that the coin is very slightly out-of-round.

* total weight: 6.76 g

* outside diameter: 22.03 mm, 22.38 mm

* thickness of rim only: 1.1 mm

* thickness when placing the calipers over the portrait device of Charles IV: 1.31 mm

* medal alignment

By the way in order to diminish the glare effect from gold I used diffusion during the photographic process.

If one feels that I should provide an additional axial shot(w/o implementing diffusion) to accentuate the cartwheel effect and shininess from the gold, speak up.

Thanks

No gold test but I did send it in to PCGS.
