Johnathan55 Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 03:51 am Flea market find, got it at a good price because of the wear and discoloration, but I'm wondering if it's actually a fake. I weighed it and measured it with digital calipers: Weight: 10.62 grams Diameter: 27.63 mm It also has a weird line on the rim I took a picture of. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Johnathan55 Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 2:16 pm Sweet! I was hoping it'd turn out to be real. It's a bit roughed up but this is the first large cent I've been fortunate enough to own, So it's pretty to me, hah. Thanks for the replies all Report this Post to the Staff

jpsned Pillar of the Community United States 2200 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 7:40 pm Ah, don't worry about the damage. It's a noble-looking coin that wears its wear well. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 7:49 pm It looks to be in reasonably good shape to me......... it's round ! You don't get that with ancient coins ! (I collect those as well.) I picked my first Large Cent many decades ago; it is in about the same condition as this one. Yours is real as well.
