Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 08/19/2024 2:35 pm @chr, is it underweight compared with the mint specs? My initial thought is exposure to a corrosive environment.

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 08/19/2024 7:49 pm I was wondering if it was genuine. The crown is especially undefined but the legend is almost perfect. What is the weight and diameter? Could you show the other side, please? Report this Post to the Staff
