[QUOTE="djdj, post: 672553, member: 20254"]My problem with coin #1 is that from browsing around cyberspace, I get conflicting specs about the coin. One site says it weighs 29 grams. You yourself gave a weight of 28.1 grams, while I got 29.59 grams on my scale. I asked someone about it and he believes it should weigh 1 troy oz = 31.1 grams if it is authentic. As for the diameter, one site lists it at 41mm while you gave 44mm. My own measurement of 42mm was done using a regular ruler so it is not as accurate as I'd like it to be. There are really few sites which lists the specifications of coin #1, that's why I'm so conflicted about its genuineness. Even the standard catalog on world coins have not much to say about it in terms of weight, diameter, % metal composition, etc. There's just too much of a variation in the data I got for coin #1 if you ask me, so I hope someone here with good knowledge about it can settle the issue for me once and for all. As for coin #2, though, I've gotten better results especially on the weight side, so I'm at least more confident of its authenticity, but still not 100% assured. So I'd really appreciate any information anyone can share. Again thanks. DJ[/QUOTE]
