kaji Valued Member Bulgaria 53 Posts	Posted 08/24/2016 07:11 am Hello A theoretical coin in the Krause has a weight of 26.80 gr and a diameter of 39mm. The same type of coin that I would like to buy has a weight of 27gr and a diameter of 39.3 mm. According to your experience, do you think that the coin is nevertheless in the permissible tolerances of a genuine coin? Or is too far from them? ( especially the diameter). Thanks for your answers Report this Post to the Staff

Modern minting equipment should be able to be more accurate coins than those values, but maybe not so for a coin minted in the 1600s (and listed in Krause's 17th Century Coins).
