[QUOTE="mxevans, post: 29077, member: 1929"]Thanks Ian, once I can get access to an accurate scale, I'll weigh the "coin" and see what happens. I suspect it will turn out to be a bit light, because (subjectively) it is quite a bit lighter than a 1847 Victoria gold coin (half-sov ?) that is only slightly larger (about 21.5mm across, compared to 19.5mm, and a bit thicker). BTW, interesting to see you're based in Kirkcaldy. I spent many cold and wet hours in the scrap yards of Kirkcaldy in the 70s helping a friend to find parts for his Austin A30 when we were students at St Andrews. Thanks again for your help. rgds mxevans[/QUOTE]
