<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mi chael, post: 408797, member: 9552&quot;]What got me started wondering about this coin is its thickness. It does seem that 1.55mm&nbsp; is a lot for such a tiny coin but that&#039;s the only information I have found. If that IS correct then it&#039;s less than half the thickness it should be. In addition, it SEEMS (can&#039;t be sure) that it may be a bit heavy for its size - more silver? - flan error??</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve noticed a plumpness in the letters but, I suppose, that could be die wear. ??</p><p><br /></p><p>After posting this coin I discovered the coins in the counterfeit thread. Though they can&#039;t be compared directly, there seems to be a world of (obvious) difference between my coin and these known counterfeits.&nbsp; With those as a base point, I would have to say that mine does appear to be legit.</p><p><br /></p><p>OH, the blotch over the second I is just that, a blotch not a repair.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin is real, am I looking at an EF (XF) grade?&nbsp; That&#039;s what my (old) Red Book says according to its description of grade.&nbsp; I bought it as if it were Fine and for a price that was not bad for that grade($40).&nbsp; If it could be EF then I&#039;ve &quot;made out like a bandit!&quot;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
