dquiroz68 Valued Member United States 58 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 12:43 am The coin is nice and shiny. It weighs 3.0 but is silver in color. I don't know if it was altered. I was having a hard time taking a good pic because it's so shiny. Could it be possible that it is silver ? Report this Post to the Staff
