mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 12/09/2022 09:09 am Got this San Marino replica. Can anyone tell me more about them or point out to a link online. Mostly I'm interested is it made of silver or just silver plated?

Would not even bother about the silver aspect.

mvojnovic Pillar of the Community Serbia (Srbija) 576 Posts	Posted 12/10/2022 2:28 pm @Spence its not magnetic, weight 22.5g if I remember correctly and I got an acid test and it is at least silver plated, but in order to see if its silver all the way in I have to scratch it deep in, which I'm not so keen doing... So I thought maybe someone else had a similar fake, or they got some info on who made them or in what composition ... @gxseries Well it is a counterfeit for sure, as I said acid test positive for silver but like I said it could be just silver plated... And I bought it in a junk lot so no need in returning it back lol My collection on Numista page: 7500 different coins and counting... https://en.numista.com/echanges/pro...hp?id=129798 Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/23/2022 6:43 pm If it was centrifugally pressure die cast, the diameter may be a little less than for genuine. Need accurate weight and density measurements. As gxseries has indicated, confirm the differences in the 'B' compared with pictures of a known genuine coin. Report this Post to the Staff
