<p>[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 24679689, member: 27832"]I can't read the weight in your scale photo, but assuming it's around 12.5g, check the coin's <i>thickness</i>. The last fake WLH I got from eBay checked out for weight, but was about 15% thicker than a real example. That's how they get a correct weight on a silver-plated copper slug.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see some funkiness around the date on your obverse photo. That's another frequent tell for fakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
