<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 3567678, member: 4373&quot;]27.38g is unusually heavy for this type. Technical weight of 1 mace is 3.78g which means that it should be around 27.2g. However most examples from this era are often underweight at 26.7g. My three examples are consistently underweight at 26.1 to 26.7g. Some mints were more notorious for making their coins underweight - Kirin stands out to be the worst. From memory Kiangnan is also one of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I also do have some concerns with the edge. I acknowledge that it could be just the photography that makes it difficult to tell what I am looking at. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately there are a lot of counterfeits of this type and this is one of them.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ngccoin.com/resources/counterfeit-detection/top/chinese/16/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ngccoin.com/resources/counterfeit-detection/top/chinese/16/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ngccoin.com/resources/counterfeit-detection/top/chinese/16/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
