James Hicks Valued Member 179 Posts	Posted 09/08/2019 12:01 am Since the weight is correct, I would say it is real. Is it a coin you own, or a coin you are looking to buy? If you are looking to buy, make sure the seller did not lie about the weight Report this Post to the Staff

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3343 Posts	Posted 09/08/2019 11:11 am Take it to a dealer and have them make an offer on it. There's no offense if you turn it down. Based on that, decide about sending it in. "Two minutes ago I would have sold my chances for a tired dime." Fred Astaire Report this Post to the Staff
