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

I joined CCF in 2008 and I'm yet to see a genuine one.

Not genuine. Cast.

Vermontensium, I always tense up a little bit telling folks these fake when I remember the story of the guy who carried one in his wallet for 30 years only to find out it was the real deal!

But yeah, I'm pretty darned sure this one is fake.

Either way, I understand the weight of the coin can help determine a "broad" sense of authenticity. What does it weigh out of curiosity?

Hi Bob,
It does look like cast copy but may I ask where you 'found' this?
