<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3925468, member: 92083&quot;]This Liberty Nickel weighs 4.2 grams. At first, I immediately thought &quot;FAKE!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>However, do you notice the severe clashes on the obverse? I don&#039;t know if I have ever seen clashes on fakes before. Maybe it is common; I am certainly open to that. But I have quite a few counterfeits and I have never seen die clashes on them.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I am thinking that because this is 4.2 grams (.8 grams underweight) that maybe it isn&#039;t counterfeit and is instead either a severely rolled thin planchet or maybe struck on a foreign planchet. Next I am going to measure the thickness and diameter when I get home.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does this look fake to you? I honestly haven&#039;t studied Liberty nickels yet. I am leaning towards &quot;Yes; it&#039;s a fake.&quot; I just can&#039;t articulate why. (Other than weak details in the TY of LIBERTY and the bottom CENTS on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any comments/help is appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1034714[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1034715[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
