1971 Haiti 25 Gourdes Proof MASSIVE Silver Coin

Here's a new acquisition to go along with my two proof sets from Haiti. It's a 25 Gourdes that checks in at a whopping 117g of .925 silver. It is in a sealed mint package and is quite large.
I hope you enjoy!

Very nice. Numista got this one wrong by stating that it is .925 sterling.

I like the handwritten correction to the denomination.

That coin has a haze to it that I don't like. Is the package PVC?

 

Is there even such a thing as 1000 silver? Isn't .999 as pure as it gets?

 

Rounded off?

 

Yes, I believe it is pvc. It has that soft plastic feel to it.

 

117g is a bit of an odd weight, isn't it? 3 ozt would be 93.3g and 4 ozt would be 124.4g.

 

Nice coin. The plastic would have me concerned.
