Goodstuff1 New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 11/21/2020 6:40 pm Hi everyone. This Walk Liberty is 9.13 grams and it is supposed to be 12.5 Grams. There are some abnormalities (raised impressions) in different areas. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/21/2020 6:53 pm Is it really silver? It maybe a counterfeit. There looks like a granular look appearing on the devices on the date area image. If it is silver, you might have it tested? It might be a sand cast coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/21/2020 6:57 pm Looks like a counterfeit to me. To start, the date and IGWT- that's not wear. If an actual fake, worth well more than the real thing. to the CCF! Edited by Coinfrog 11/21/2020 6:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 11/21/2020 8:06 pm The wear pattern suggests to me that the alloy is too soft to be .900 silver; it's just too banged up and badly dented on the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
