<p>[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 284595, member: 8959"]Hello Frank, thank you for your comments. Yes, this is a nice coin, and i am very happy to have it my collection.

As far as i can tell, and of course i am not an expert, it has not been cleaned. </p><p>Going through my US coins after so long, and posting them here, has renewed my interest in them. I am even thinking about buying a few more if the opportunity arises, and have my now eyes set on a Rhode Island Ship token being offered. It is about Very Fine. I will post it if i get it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ben, i weighed the coin today and it came in at 13.340 grams. This is 1 % below the range you mentioned in your post above. Is this still aceptable? Interesting fact is that the coin does have adjustment marks across the obverse, as mentioned in the catalogue description, and this would would indicate that it was overweigth to start with, correct? Maybe the ladies at the PA mint back in 1801 over did it with the adjusting? </p><p>Regards,</p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
