<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1672189, member: 66&quot;]I don&#039;t like it and I do think it is a fake of a known variety.&nbsp; It is underweight and .2 grams is not within tolerance.&nbsp; Tolerances on gold and silver was very tight back then and was on the order of +/- .09 grams.&nbsp; So this coin is light by more than twice the legal tolerance.&nbsp; Also the denticals/rim does not look right from 3:00 to 9:00 on both sides.&nbsp; The dies these were made from had denticals cut all the way out to the edge of the dies.&nbsp; There should not be any &quot;rim&quot; out beyond the far edge of the denticals unless the dies are misaligned or it is struck off-center.&nbsp; Neither of these seem to be true in this case.&nbsp; Also when that happens the denticals are very long, these are very short.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think it is contemporary, but I don&#039;t think it is recent either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
