Hello, recently I buy this coin on ebay, but I'm thinking it is fake: 1. Weight is 4.9 grams - Krause says 5.33 2. Diameter is 23 mm 3. it not sound like silver 4. non magnetic 5. I paid for him 17$ I'm thinking to return this coin to seller. Last time http://www.cointalk.com/t217939/ I have been right. I return the coin, and seller told me it is fake. And now again german states... What do you think?
If it fails the ping test, I would return it. And I wouldn't buy anything that's not slabbed, it's just not worth it anymore. China is pumping out hundreds of thousands of fake talers, dollars and everything in between.
I would not go by the "ping test" these were only .521 silver. It looks right to me, but the weight is a little low. When is the last time your scale was calibrated?
