<p>[QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 4965634, member: 110504"]You're dead on. People here who know that much more than me have gone into this, in serious depth. But average weights will give you a ballpark; if something is as much as, let's say, 1 or two grams less than the average, it's like, 'Houston: We've Got a Problem.' ...In any case like that, the coin is as likely to be an unofficial ('Barbarous') copy, of one kind or another, as a fake. But it takes the kind of eye that you really only get with practice to even begin to tell the difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
