<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 63386, member: 1242&quot;]GDJMSP,</p><p><br /></p><p>I had the coin weighed today and it weighs 6.4 grams which is well within tolerance considering the wear! I checked the diameter with my Micrometer and it is exactly 24.3 mm as it should be. I have also looked it over well with my 20x to 60x lighted Mini Microscope and can find nothing that would indicate that it is a counterfeit. The details, although well worn, are crisp with sharp edges. The surfaces of the coin are smooth and is not grainy or porous and there is no evidence around the rim and edges that it is was (poured) made from a mold.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe that it is 100% authentic and without any other information to explain the copper coloring, I am chalking it up to toning and will list it on eBay tonight. If anyone has any information that would indicate that the coin was minted on an experimental planchet or foreign coin planchet, please let me know soon so I can end the auction for the coin on eBay and send it in to a grading company.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks...Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
