oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5246 Posts	Posted 01/17/2021 09:41 am It looks real to me. A bit battered as is typical. The damage around the edges suggest that it should sell for no more than a VG price. Check NGC World coin price guide for the current book values. Report this Post to the Staff

Here is another out-of-round example in similar condition that sold for about $25: https://wcn.pl/archive/188984?q=Rosja+1775 There are also recent sales on ebay.

gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3831 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 04:30 am It is genuine. Because of the way how these coins were struck, weight can vary from 40g to all the way up to 80g when the average should be around 50g. Probably a little dear for the condition but hey you can't beat the history of such hockey puck and tell a story!
