[QUOTE="IdesOfMarch01, post: 2960433, member: 39084"]Research on this coin in ACSEARCH indicates that the weight (at 2.25 g.) is [I]really[/I] low. Most are in the 3.5 - 4.0 g. range, and the lowest I found was 3.08 g. The weight alone would make me very wary. Plus, what's going on with the obverse? Here it is: [ATTACH=full]724506[/ATTACH] It looks as if there are two layers on this obverse, the topmost layer having been mostly removed to expose an underlying area of the coin. Personally, if this were my coin, I would pay to have it authenticated, or I would return it to the dealer and request a refund -- more likely, the latter .[/QUOTE]
