[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 26644982, member: 20480"]Take care in reaching your conclusion. While I'm a US coin guy and don't know foreign, the coin's surfaces don't look right to me, and the numerals and letters look a little on the plump side. It could be a counterfeit deliberately minted to greater thickness to reach the specified weight with a lighter alloy. You might compare the thickness of the coins across the flat fields on both sides with micrometers to see if the volume is really close to being the same.[/QUOTE]
