Well, the weight increases the concern. The coin should weigh no more than 3.5 grams at most. But as you say, your scale is not the most accurate....
Howdy Mark - Welcome to the Forum !! The coin appears to have mechanical doubling, very common and found on many coins.
Oh they have standards, it's not that they have something to hide - they've just never published them in book form. PCGS is the only TPG that has.
Those things are totally meaningless. What would you be saying if you saw ICG or ANACS at the top of that list ? Think it doesn't happen ? Well it...
No.
To be quite honest that's tougher to do because I have yet to be able to obtain a written, publsihed copy of standards used by NGC for an honest...
There was a time when I would have agreed with you about ANACS, they did used to have the tightest grading standards. Key being used to have. But...
I will never understand why people continue to believe this. Respected yes, tightest grading standards - not by a long shot.
The other coins I don't really see a problem. This one is iffy- it might grade, it might not.

First of all you need to figure out if it is genuine or not. I am not yet convinced it is. You can find pictures of all the various coins of the...
Excuse me, but just what is shamelful about being able to buy coins, high end or otherwise, on somebody's web site ? Apparently you don't much...
I got more than enough snow to make up for all of those who don't have any - and then some. Personally, I'd rather you had it :D
There is something else you should realize spock, when I post here, 99% of the time it is not as a moderator/admin - it is as a member, just like...
Other than coloring, it is identical in every way to the coin previously posted in this thread. Yours is a modern reproduction as well.
The threads have been merged - now there is no confusion. I hope.
I'd have to go with AU55. There are luster breaks on all of the high points both obv & rev. that indicate light wear. And there are several spots...
It has absolutely nothing to do with investing. What it does is teach you what a fair price is for a given coin in a given grade - so you do not...
rotfl !!
