<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 43164, member: 112&quot;]As I tried to explain before - that&#039;s the problem. For as you suggest plating, as a general rule is extremely thin. It typically adds less than fraction of a gram to the weight of a coin. But this coin is more than 7 grams heavier than it should be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also - if the plating, regardless of the material used, was thick enough to add 7 grams of weight, the details and legends of the coin would be obliterated - you wouldn&#039;t be able to see them. But yet you can as shown by the pics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Which is why the only reasonable explanation I can think of is that the coin is a replica. That doesn&#039;t mean I am right - but the evidence provided rather supports the idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
