<p>[QUOTE="abc123, post: 4711789, member: 103687"]I saw the listing while on VCoins and also thought it suspicious that the control numbers on obverse and reverse didn’t match. Perry is a good guy and I would think as long as you don’t delay making contact he will work with you to make the deal right. Get a better scale and perform specific gravity measurement as you are planning to do. You need a scale that measures to a hundredth of a gram at a minimum. I was unable to locate images of the reported hybrid examples in the Paris and British Museum collections searching the CRRO database. Regardless of your coin being plated or not it is a very nice example of the type with a story to tell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
