[QUOTE="Herodotus, post: 4585460, member: 111387"]UPFRONT DISCLAIMER: I am a brand-new collector myself. The bumps on the back do make me take pause, however, the flow marks on the obverse legend lead me to believe that this is a struck coin and not cast. Here's another coin with similar bumps(and toning)... [IMG]https://www.cngcoins.com/photos/enlarged/4070245.jpg[/IMG] Perhaps that ought to put you at ease, until an actual expert can chime in. EDIT: FWIW, 2.44g +/-.05 seems to be the avg weight on these.[/QUOTE]
