jdsstrat Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 10:38 am I acquired this coin as you see in the pictures but could use some help understanding why it was catalogued as counterfeit. Edited by jdsstrat 03/13/2025 11:48 am Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 10:50 am It is supposed to be 90% silver and it doesn't look silver. Take it out of the 2x2 and weigh it to two decimal points. It should weigh 6.25 g Report this Post to the Staff
jdsstrat Valued Member United States 258 Posts	Posted 03/13/2025 11:09 am I have to step out to run some errands and will pick up a better scale before I return. The scale I have bounces back and forth between 5 and 6 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 03/14/2025 5:15 pm Quote: 4.7 grams. That is way too light to be silver. Has to be a counterfeit then. Edited by JimmyD 03/14/2025 5:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
