Understood sir. We weren't judging your posts, its just like everything in life someone's perception of communication is frequently different than...
Take it to a coin dealer or a jeweler to weigh it. Another option could be its nickel plated, that would be silver looking and weakly magnetic....

I think its pretty cool. Actually, it is not much more to do this than a lot of materials that are commonly used, maybe cheaper.
Man, an egress huh? Dang, I need to see what an egress is......
I agree. I think you may have gotten a different response from him if your first message simply stated you are fine with the coin at the price,...
