Hello, what do you think?
weight: 26,6g
diameter: 37,8mm
thickness:2,75mm +-
magnetic: no /diamagnetism: slowly sliding down

How much of diameter+thickness+weight is OK to lose by circulation?

It looks good to me. Circulation wear on an issue known for a pancake strike. Your measurements taken appear to be within tolerance except maybe the diameter. Is the reeded edge still there?

Appears authentic to me - suggest a circulated grade of XF.

Some years ago, I analyzed a parcel of 163 pre-1920 British silver threepences.

On average, coins in Fine had lost 4% of their original weight and in VG had lost 8.8% of their original weight.
