<p>[QUOTE="AndrewC, post: 7810791, member: 97642"]I bought this coin on Ebay from a well-known and highly rated seller. Once I received it, I measured its diameter and weighed it, coming out with 39 mm and 26.34 g. The diameter seems fine, but the weight is a bit lower than the minimum tolerance, although I think that the amount of wear on the coin doesn't make the weight a red flag by itself. Additionally, I'm able to rub off some of the black residue on the edges of the coin and I don't think any of the marks on the coin are casting bubbles. I'm not expert enough to judge any other factors myself and I was wondering if anyone here could give me their opinion. The seller's pictures and my own pictures are attached below. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]1341756[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1341757[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1341767[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1341770[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1341768[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1341769[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1341771[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
