TiagoMoedas New Member Portugal 2 Posts	Posted 02/18/2022 08:42 am Hello. Im new here. And I thanks for all your help. Im portuguese and a coin collector and some days ago I found this (i think) coin at a coin market in Lisbon. The weight is 19,30g I guess. And I can find what coin is. Thank you!

Hogarth Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 735 Posts	Posted 02/19/2022 10:12 am Yes. Weighing about 8g less than a genuine coin is also an obvious giveaway. Unfortunately the coin market is awash with this modern rubbish at the moment. The differences are obvious to experienced collectors or dealers but a danger to any unfortunate novice.
