Snatched Valued Member United States 106 Posts	Posted 04/20/2016 05:37 am I tried looking this up but everything I found that was similar, had a "apm" mark and said "31.1 grams" on the side of the balance scale. Any info helps. Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16845 Posts	Posted 04/20/2016 07:55 am I do know that pieces like this are ending up among the items counterfeited by the Chinese. Simple test: weigh it and see if it really is 1 troy ounce. The Chinese fakes are almost always the wrong weight. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 05/22/2016 5:10 pm I got a fake one as well. Mine was also mechanically aged, but silver plated. It weighs about 27 grams, which is 4 grams short of what it should be. Sizes were correct, though. I guess that, if it's about the same coin, it's a Chinese counterfeit coin, 'cause that is what I ended up with. The good news is that I didn't pay the silver price for it.
