Lucacoin New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 12/20/2021 12:32 pm Hello I have recently found this coin while metal detecting I weighed it and it's about 0.2 grams. I'd like to know if it's real or fake. It looks fake to me but I would like the communities opinion all help would be appreciated thank you. Edited by Lucacoin 12/20/2021 1:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

You might consider posting the weight and size plus of course the edge in a few places for others. But I'll start this off by saying it is not real. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 12/20/2021 3:35 pm @luca, could you please add an image of the edge of this piece to the thread? It will be hard to get very much of it in focus, but your pics are well above average for a first-time poster, so I'm hoping the edge shot will be somewhat clear too. Thx.

Seeker55 Pillar of the Community United States 634 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 11:32 am I'm not expert enough in these coins to venture an opinion regarding the authenticity. However, I can say that the weight cannot be 0.2 grams. This would correspond to a piece of metal about the size of a pinhead. Can you reweigh more accurately to help those trying to establish whether it's authentic? Edited by Seeker55 12/22/2021 11:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1303 Posts	Posted 12/22/2021 12:00 pm Seeker55; I assumed from that 0.2 grams the scale was set to ounces perhaps. So that would come out to 5.68 grams, which is what the coin might weigh, I don't know of course. Report this Post to the Staff
