<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 37429, member: 669&quot;]Welcome to the forum Jon.Don&#039;t forget, we have some very bright and knowledgeable Lady Numismatists in the group. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>The only reference to weight I have found is on the <a href="http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinIntros/Cons-Nova.intro.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColCoinIntros/Cons-Nova.intro.html" rel="nofollow">Notre Dame University coin website</a> (one of 2600 hits Google came up with) which quotes an authority who says &quot;the first coppers produced in the series were made at an acceptable weight of 140 grains (this came close to the British halfpenny weight of about 150 grains); but as the series progressed the weight of the coppers was reduced to 127 grains and then 116 grains.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Since 4.99g is only 77 grains, it would appear that yours may be way too light to be genuine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
