<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 2599183, member: 83845&quot;]Hello everyone! I just bought this 1953 1/2 Balboa and as soon as I got it something about it seemed off.&nbsp; It looked too small for its holder which seemed odd because if I&#039;m not mistaken this coin was minted in the US and should match the dimensions of the 1/2 dollar exactly.&nbsp; I took it out and measured it and sure enough the diameter was off as well as the weight.</p><p><br /></p><p>Spec. Weight = 12.5 g</p><p>Actual Weight = 12.61 g</p><p><br /></p><p>Spec. Dia. = 30.6 mm</p><p>Actual Dia. = 30.2 mm</p><p><br /></p><p>Attached are some photos.&nbsp; So what do you guys think is it counterfeit or am I missing something? Does it even make sense to fake such a low cost coin?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]567071[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]567072[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]567073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]567074[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
