I did a stare and compare to other examples and this appears to be unique. The weight is 47g, should be 51g, so I had it checked and confirmed composition is copper. Edge is oblique milled. Thoughts? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: The weight is 47g, should be 51g The weight is highly variable. I have a 1778 that weighs 56.9 g. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces8257.html Quote: Weight of the coin can range from 35 grams to 65 grams. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by Hondo Boguss 04/24/2025 12:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Weight variance for this particular coin can vary drastically as mentioned by Hondo.
