[QUOTE="Paul M., post: 2376595, member: 73165"]I think, given the wear and possible environmental damage (maybe it was buried?), 2.9 grams is reasonable. They are supposed to weight 3.11 grams, but, again, accounting for weight and possible environmental damage, that's probably within tolerance. Your coin is worth at most a buck or so. Also, FYI, you should always ever hold a coin by its edges. It won't hurt this one because of its condition, but it's still good practice. :-)[/QUOTE]
