JFM New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 09/02/2021 5:33 pm I am trying to determine if an 1892 Korean coin I have is counterfeit. It should weigh 26.95 grams. It weighs 26.84 grams. It should be 2.5mm thick. It is 2.7mm thick. Diameter is spot on. Are these differences significant? Report this Post to the Staff
