As far as I know weight is often a good criteria to tell if the coin is fake or not, however it is less reliable for russian copper coins of 18th century. </p><p>What is the catalog weight of this coin (2 para 3 kopeks 1773, so far I found on the web 22.75 gr but not in an official reference) and how often the actual weight differs from the one found in catalog?</p><p>The reason I am asking this is that I bought a coin in ebay, VF-F condition visually doesn&#039;t look fake but weighs just 16.44 gr. Could it be due to it&#039;s age?</p><p>Thank you very much for any help in this issue.</p><p>Michael[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
