[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 3609743, member: 4910"]I have a Netherlands Gelderland 1622 Rix dollar that is severely underweight at 24.44 gm. [IMG]http://www.brianrxm.com/posts/post_netherlands_rixdollar_gelderland_1622.jpg[/IMG] Netherlands Rix dollar (Rijksdaalder) Gelderland 1622 Silver, 40 mm, 24.44 gm Obverse: Armored bust of William the Silent facing right holding shield of Gelderland MO ARG PRO CONFOE BEL GEL (Moneta Argentea Provinciarum Confoederatarum Belgii Gelriae) Reverse: Crown over shield, lion facing left holding sword CONCORDIA RES PARVAE CRESCVNT (Unity Makes Strength) People who have looked at the coins say it is genuine but underweight and may have spent some time in the ocean (shipwreck) which sometimes corrodes and causes silver loss. The OP's coin may have also spent time in the ocean. :)[/QUOTE]
