Reuben12345 New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 08/04/2022 6:34 pm Hi all, Ive been trying to find out some information on some coins we have been handed down. A friend of my wifes grandfathers was handed them decades ago and was told to hold on to them as they will be valuable. Were just trying to find out more about them and see if they are what they are. The one is as pictured. From what we have read. We weighed the coin to 26grams- On some kitchen scales. Measured about 39mm. Need to use some calipers when I find some. We tried a magnet and definanly not magnetic. Placed some ice on the face and melts really quickly. Any help is appreciated. Edited by Reuben12345 08/04/2022 6:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Looks like this might be the original: http://numismatics.org/collection/0000.999.1064 You can download the full-res images and do some comparing of the design with yours so you can evaluate. I'll hold back on my opinion since I'm just a coin newbie!!! Report this Post to the Staff

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 01:01 am Your is likely to be one of many non-genuine knock-offs. SG indicating silver is doubtful. Edited by Albert 08/05/2022 01:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
gxseries Pillar of the Community Australia 3841 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 09:11 am Have a look at a genuine example - it does not have the fine details http://numismatics.org/collection/0000.999.1064 This is quite scarce. I don't believe yours is genuine.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 08/05/2022 3:28 pm Here are a couple fakes. The OP can compare the coin's lettering since the provided pics are a bit too small. Edited by Albert 08/05/2022 3:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
