<p>[QUOTE="vintshave, post: 2090742, member: 73753"]I got an email from an expert on these coins - Dan Sedwick - and he said it's almost certainly a fake being that far off on the weight. He also said that it looked cast. That part I can't see. It certainly looks struck to me, but there are probably ways to create artificial wear on the coin so that it looks that way. But being 2 grams off = that's an awful lot of loss.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
