Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 25495615, member: 25270"]I've had this coin for years and I had suspected that it was fake but I finally got around to confirming it. I bought this in the early days of collecting when I was trying to complete date sets as cheap as possible. I remember that the listing even said it was magnetic but I thought, "50 percent silver - maybe that's why." I tried just now and yes, it's definitely magnetic, and the weight is 17g when it should be 28.28g. What's odd is it's not a particularly rare coin. I can get one on eBay today for about $30, and at the time I bought this I'm sure it was less. I feel like I paid around $10 for it and I think it was from Europe, maybe Hungary. I just wanted to share mostly because it doesn't seem like a typical coin you'd expect to be faked. [ATTACH=full]1632092[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
