Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/22/2007 04:30 am Well it is a type II/II like it should be. The metal doesn't look quite right and I suspect it may be a fake. But if so it is a better fake than those you see coming out of China. A weight would really be helpful. Report this Post to the Staff
hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 10/22/2007 05:17 am Other than the odd look to the metal (which could be the scan), it sure looks real. I believe it should weigh about 27.22 grams. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 10/22/2007 07:07 am my first impression is that the coin didn't look right but I guess a scan may be able to cause that look (hopefully anyway) but I have no idea how to grade these things but if I had to guess I would probably say VF+ and maybe even a XF-40 that is given the coin looks totally different in hand as it does in these pictures (because if the color is correct this coin scares me) Edited by Bryan1315 10/22/2007 07:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
blcoinnut Valued Member United States 189 Posts	Posted 10/22/2007 4:46 pm To all, It is a scan,the coin is a solid gray,nice original surfaces. Scans always darken and bring out a horrible red in my coins don't know why. Report this Post to the Staff
