They both said 27.38 grams. Technically this is slightly heavier than it should be? I&#039;ve seen lots of posts about fakes not weighing enough, but nothing about them being too heavy. My optimistic thinking wants to say it was made from a thick planchet, and that&#039;s why the strike is so good. My pessimistic thinking says whats the chances of me finding it 120 years later still with such little wear on it. Is this a big red flag that it&#039;s fake? It&#039;s definitely not magnetic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a picture of the reeded edge. It looks very consistent around the edge, except for some small damage from dings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
