<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Teddydogno1, post: 1960662, member: 71226&quot;]I&#039;m actually wondering if the weight isn&#039;t really that far off for this type of coin.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure what entry my dealer looked at in his book (Krause, probably?), but it may have been for colonial coins that were not debased.&nbsp; Looking at the individual coin entries on the UND website I linked above, the weight of 2R coins in their collection seems to be all over the place.&nbsp; The 1R I linked to above is of the same type, though a little earlier, and they list its weight at 2.67 gr.&nbsp; That would indicate a 2R of that type should weight 5.34 grams!&nbsp; Other 2R coins in their collection weight 6.12, 6.19, 6.04, 6.65 &amp; 5.89!&nbsp; Doesn&#039;t seem to be a lot of consistency.</p><p><br /></p><p>The seller has already replied to me and insists it is genuine and from his personal collection, but also offered to take it back if I&#039;m not happy.&nbsp; Of course I&#039;d be out shipping.&nbsp; I&#039;m going to wait to decide until I&#039;ve had another &quot;in hand&quot; opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
