    Weights a couple of gr less and doesn't feel like iron.

    Should be OK, I run the magnet test and turned to be positive.

    Question:

    -Who would fake such a cheap coin ?
    -Why would you think this piece is fake


    Recent personal observation: all the noobs think everything posted is or could be fake.

    Check out this page... http://www.austriancoins.com/coins1892-1918.html

    according to what this fellow has posted on here sounds pretty close. From your photo it looks to me like the coin has no luster, and while the detail looks really good it has been circulated...you can lose a little weight that way, and perhaps that alters the "feel"...I guess I'm not understanding how it feels wrong.
