Generalstore2002 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 6:37 pm Hello Everyone. This weighs about 17.9/18.0 Grams. Measures 40/41mm in size. I don't think I could luck out with finding a real one, but thought I would show it everyone to see. Thank you, Bob Report this Post to the Staff

But yeah, I'm pretty darned sure this one is fake. Report this Post to the Staff
