[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 7959559, member: 94733"]I bid on this coin, and won it, knowing it was a well circulated coin. Upon receiving it, my immediate gut feeling was that it is a fake.

Anyway, it is 12.3 g and should be 12.5. It is 29.8 mm and should be 30.6, but taking account for wear, is that close enough to mint specs to be acceptable? It is NOT magnetic. I'd like members thoughts and please guess the grade. I think I know, but don't want to put any ideas in anyone's head. Thanks in advance.
