<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 1848115, member: 16994&quot;]Hi gang! </p><p><br /></p><p>I picked this piece up out of another dealers &quot;counterfeit&quot; box at a show this past weekend. The piece looked nice and crude as I like to see in Mexican revolutionary strikes. I thought the piece may have been genuine and I bought it for the nominal price the dealer had it marked. As I study this piece more... I&#039;m finding myself stumped. The coin is supposed to weigh 23.8 grams and is supposed to be silver. My piece weighs 19.7 grams and a light edge test does not react for silver. Apparently there are copper and brass examples known to exist as well as contemporary cast counterfeits. Anyone have experience with these?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my piece. </p><p>[ATTACH]308301[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]308302[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a genuine die struck piece that sold at heritage.</p><p>[ATTACH]308303[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]308304[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
