<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 12223, member: 112&quot;]satootoko - </p><p><br /></p><p>What Krause are you using ? Not sure how many, if any,&nbsp; were struck between 1915 - 1920. But - I ask because there were 496,501 Austrian 4 ducat pieces struck between 1920 - 1936. Every single one of these coins has the 1915 date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I am a bit confused by the OP&#039;s question about different weights for the 4 ducat coin. I have never heard of this and I&#039;m a ducat collector&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think Aggie made a typo - and meant to say 8 grams - not 8 ounces. This would be the approximate weight of some 2 ducat coins from other nations. But the Austrian 1915 ducats were issued in 1 &amp; 4 ducat denominations only. </p><p><br /></p><p>So to me - there is only one explanation. The coin is a fake and only weighs 8 grams. This would not be unusual as there are a great many counterfeit examples for these coins and they have been around since long before 1960.</p><p><br /></p><p>My advice would be this - both parties get together and weigh the coin. If the weight is 8 grams as stated - and the buyer is willing to accept part of his money back - I&#039;d pay him and be happy. For if he wants to return the coin for a full refund - Aggie I&#039;m afraid you&#039;re just out the money. For I know of no one who would ever buy it unless they did not know what it was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
