Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/25/2017 12:04 am I doubt if it's authentic, just looking at the pics- it looks about the same as many fakes I have. Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 02/25/2017 12:46 am The weight is good and the appearance is much better than the typical forgery. That is however not a guarantee that the coin is in fact genuine. The edge design is critical since most forgers get that wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
ksmcents Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 02/25/2017 02:21 am The edges are reeded...it seems authentic from what I can gather from pictures...but I am far from knowledgeable on these. Report this Post to the Staff
Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/26/2017 12:04 am Is it 39.5mm dia and 2.5mm thick, 27 grams and .900 silver? There are some home tests that can be useful to figure if it's silver or not. I have non-silver fakes with a pretty close to correct weight and they don't stick to a magnet.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 02/26/2017 10:31 am I'm sorry, I jumped the gun without reading carefully- no, your 1911 coin, I'm sure would not be authentic. Or if authentic, then it would not be 1911. The emperor and the date in the subject title are at odds. Edited by Albert 02/26/2017 10:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
