What does this coin weigh? And can you add a photo of the edge lettering? From first glace I am thinking it is a potential counterfeit.

Hmm, something looks off about the color of this coin. I'll wait for more experienced folks to chime in, but I'm thinking that it might be a counterfeit.

Looks like a Chinese counterfeit to me. Lettering a date too round on the edges. Color looks like it's not silver.

Unfortunately my suspicions are correct. Likely cast brass plated silver that was artifically antiqued. An edge that is too rounded and mushy details are a dead giveaway for a modern counterfeit. I can post edge lettering of a genuine coin if interested.

Considering the nature of the US coin market for these coins,
why was it not slabbed when sold?
