<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 487182, member: 112&quot;]That is not quite true spock. To lose 1.5 grams of weight the coin would have to be worn nearly smooth. Given the amount of wear that the coin does have I would expect a weight loss of perhaps 1/10 of a gram.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, the weight of these coins varied greatly depending on when and where they were minted, the weights fineness of the metal were constantly changing. For example, in 1667 the weight was reduced to 28.1 grams. In 1690 it was further reduced to 25.9 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>So to answer your question gadg I would be somewhat skeptical of this coin. Not only because of the weight, but because of the diameter as well. The diameter should be 47mm - not 45.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
