    The ping seems off. It weights 25g.[​IMG][​IMG]

    doug444 STAMPS and POSTCARDS too!

    My vote is bogus; the date doesn't look right, the mintmark doesn't look right. I've been wrong before, and will be wrong again. Also, in Vogt's book, the "I" in GRATIA is much farther from the base of the portrait.

    Looks like it is a cast fake to me.
