Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/02/2025 11:58 am @coin, the weight is helpful, but I'd really like to know the specific gravity for both of these pieces. I assume that a strong magnet is not attracted to either one, but is there any chance you can get us the specific gravity? Thx.

The heavier coin looks just slightly thicker when placing both coins side by side for a comparison. How much should I pay for for non-graded ones? Report this Post to the Staff
captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 02/03/2025 7:15 pm Isn't the first one overweight? Looks like these should way 17.2 or 17.9 g. I'd be very careful with these. My first question is always how much trust do I have in the seller-is it a knowledgeable person with experience selling these types of coins? Is the seller letting them go for cheap-probably fake. It bothers me that the seller is touching the coin with their fingers like that---usually shows lack of experience in handling coins. Unless you trust the seller a lot, I wouldn't buy them.
