    Hello. I have this 1901 French Indo-China 20 cent coin with a weight of 0.2 ounces. It has a hole drilled into it, probably from jewelry. Is it genuine?

    0.2 oz is 5.67 gram, and that is with the whole. This coin should weigh 5.4 gram.

    Weigh it accurately and post pictures.

    Being holed it is not worth much over melt.

    Pity about the hole, but still a nice coin to have in your collection. Otherwise looks in pretty good shape.
