tuvaorbust New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 12:54 pm 27 grams; 38.10 mm. I'm a bit nervous about that edge. Anyone have thoughts on authenticity? Thank you. Edited by tuvaorbust 04/25/2018 8:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tuvaorbust New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 8:12 pm Thank you for looking. I updated the weight. It's 27 grams, right on the nose. Report this Post to the Staff
wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 04/25/2018 10:46 pm Does not look like a fake though there is a defect at the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 04/26/2018 1:56 pm Looks genuine to my eyes; a lot of these coins were heavily polished before that became a collecting no-no. I would probably have it certified if you read it at 38.1mm. 1886 was a transitional year from 38.6 to 38.1mm, and the later 38.1mm are worth a good premium. Report this Post to the Staff
wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 04/26/2018 10:26 pm I don't see anything suspicious. The damage at the edge is probably from a jewelry mount/finding, although it looks like that would make the dragon upside down. Report this Post to the Staff
