Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 2:09 pm I would say VF to this one. Have you checked to make sure that this coin is authentic by weighing it and checking the edges? Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 07/15/2009 02:14 am bryan10au- These should weigh about 27 grams (though maybe a wee bit less due to wear), and the edge should be what is known as the "circle rectangle pattern." That is, the edge design should be an alternating pattern of a circle followed by a rectangle. Post some pics and I can help indicate of the edge design is correct. Report this Post to the Staff

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 08/14/2009 02:14 am Well, a month later is better than nothing. haha This edge looks pretty good. It has the proper "wobble" and I think that I can see one of the overlaps. Have you checked to see how many overlaps there are on the edge? There should be only two and they should be 180 degrees across from one another. In other words, they should be directly across from one another. Report this Post to the Staff
