kkirby99 Valued Member United States 231 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 5:47 pm Need help with this. 39.93 mm 23.2 grams non-magnetic It's underweight. It's corroded from something. Seawater? Is weight loss accounted for with the corrosion? Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 6:31 pm An edge view will definitely confirm counterfeit or real BUT date looks very strange/flawed (not to mention the lettering) compared to this one up for auction!

coinworldtv Pillar of the Community Austria 566 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 7:21 pm The corrosion damage looks like on a real (authentic) sea-salvaged coin. I have not yet seen a fake coin corroded like that. Report this Post to the Staff

realeswatcher Pillar of the Community United States 1962 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 09:35 am Genuine, lower-grade salvage, plus some presumably post-recovery rim filing/similar damage at the lower left (pillars side). Report this Post to the Staff
