<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 137332, member: 4552&quot;]I agree partially with that. Weight is no way to prove fake or real since wear reduces the coins weight. Only a perfect unused coin would weigh the same as when made. </p><p>As to taking a coin to a dealer. Got to remember that unless you know the dealer you may as well ask a used car salesman for his opinion. </p><p>GDJMSP is correct as to the tight controls of coin manufacturing weight, however, wear eleiminates that as a factor for determining realism. Of course I&#039;ve got a few fake coins in my collection that were made with lead and talk about weight differences. Didn&#039;t need a scale for those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
