<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 632592, member: 112&quot;]Because of the weight, I suspect it is not real.&nbsp; Tolerances were 27.2638gm to 26.8646gm - their tolerance was plus or minus 4 grains.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, people think that because a coin is worn that the weight can be less than it supposed to be. But few have any real idea how much less. The only way to find this out is to weigh genuine coins that are well worn. Once you do that you begin to find out that wear actually reduces the weight very, very slightly.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, the coin you have posted should only be, at most, a tenth of a gram (1/10 or 0.1gm) lighter than spec. So odds are quite good that it is not real.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the other coin you mention that weighed 24.9, either that is a very big hole or it is not real either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
