coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 4:13 pm Looks more like a replated coin to me. What is the weight? The sheen is not correct: https://images.PCGS.com/CoinFacts/4...119_2200.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
Rillionon Valued Member Canada 91 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 4:27 pm 11.48g which lines up with what I just found online of 11.50g. Probably my photo. I find it difficult to get good light. The file size limit on the forum does not help. lol Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 5:48 pm Agree, just replated. Report this Post to the Staff
Rillionon Valued Member Canada 91 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 6:13 pm Weird on the replating given the source of the coins. That person would lack the know how and desire for such a task and had them for some time, family friend. If replated would the weight be different as it is just 0.02g Report this Post to the Staff
Rillionon Valued Member Canada 91 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 10:42 pm I just did all the tests on a youtube video I found after searching is that these are silver. The rim, the tissue test, and the sound test. I know I did nothing to the coins, and the person who gave them to me was no real collector by any means, came buy them over time. Who knows in the end of the day, but these all indicate silver. Report this Post to the Staff
Rillionon Valued Member Canada 91 Posts	Posted 04/20/2023 10:45 pm I can post a video I guess if it is in question. Not trying to pull a fast one here, just make sure I go forward with the right knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff
