    I've spent hours googling to find this. So be gentle if it is an easy one. Thanks John

    from the picture though, your coin looks like a cast. These are not silver either, but bronze; though they can be silvered. If you don't mind, where did you get this, since these are very rare.

    We purchased a collection a long time ago, and many of them have come back in body bags may be from counterfeit set??. This is coin does contain 94% silver,

    If you are sure it is silver, it is definitely fake. The weight is a little high, these average 4.0 grams. Though I hate to condemn a coin from a picture alone, this coin is suspect.

    You saved me $40. Would it be abusive to this thread to put up a coin or two every couple days. Some I am sure are real.
