levelsofmadnes Pillar of the Community United States 3003 Posts	Posted 02/15/2019 10:13 am When I first came across this coin last months, I thought NICE. Then I thought is it fake (because it didn't have sharp details without the scratches I am use to seeing on LMCs)? So, I weighed it; 3.xx something grams (forgot exact). Then I am thinking maybe this is due to Die Deterioration. But for both sides? I don't know. Anyone? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
