Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 11/07/2010 07:10 am I tend to agree with the fire theory. I see in the pics what looks like some sort of residue on the coin so that may account for some of the extra weight. Just my thoughts. Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 11/10/2010 01:06 am Possibly. We buy tons of crap from china, sell very little back to them except for silver. Then they buy it up like it is candy from us, then they mint fake coins more than any other country then resell most of them here in the U.S. Kind of makes you think Huh ? I'm not saying yours is a phony. Most likely it is legit and just a little on the heavy side. I guess we have to leave politics etc. out of this forum so that will end that about china. For now :) The American silver eagle is the only legal tender .999 coin minted from 100% American only silver and I hope it stays that way. The feds made a promise and it better stay that way in the future also. Anyone who has the nerve to counterfeit this coin better watch out Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 11/10/2010 02:15 am You need to remember this is a common date piece of bullion. If it's the same diameter and thickness of the other pieces then it's fine. Whatever's "coating" it likely added a few tenths of a gram to the weight. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
