<p>[QUOTE="franzlflorin, post: 7670197, member: 118340"]Hey everyone, need some input here. I recently picked up this 1899 peso. Weight is almost bang on and coin is nonmagnetic, but the ping test is odd—right pitch, but the ping sounds hollow (?) and doesn’t ring long enough. However, it also seems a bit thick at 3mm, and this edge is the most concerning part—undoubtedly the reason why the coin is so thick. The grooves seem thicker than a 1909 peso I have, and also seem to be wavy—when looking at the coin horizontally, they appear to undulate.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1317951[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1317952[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1317953[/ATTACH] </p><p>Perhaps a casting seam?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
