xenijus New Member Lithuania 3 Posts	Posted 02/12/2018 8:02 pm so how come it weights less than original? Plating should add some weight Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 02/12/2018 8:04 pm Sure. Maybe give us all the details about your coin then? Also, is it attracted weakly to a magnet or not at all?

Also the newspaper article that you linked appears to more for interest rather then fact ... I'm pretty sure that if it really was a genuine error coin then they wouldn't have just auctioned it on ebay! Report this Post to the Staff

Anaximander Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 709 Posts	Posted 02/13/2018 11:34 am Don't trust newspaper articles like that one. "Facts" are often assumed instead of checked, and they are written for a mass audience rather than people who are really interested.
