    I have have one of these coins in Unc graded by NGC in my collection. I would say, since the weight can be off from what the Krause book might say..... I'll guess 9.56 grams.......Just think that back then you can buy two sheep's with that coin. That is one very interesting bid of historical info. I wonder how many I can get with mine now :eat:....LOL. Thanks Mr Palmason for a very interesting post.

    9.45 is my guess...
    I like the picture with the check mark on the scale!! Very nice!

    I had a family member stationed in Iceland and he loved it. He talks about hot springs in the ice.

    Thanks for the contest.
