[QUOTE="Julius Germanicus, post: 2688176, member: 80783"]While I am waiting for responses from the dealers, here are some profile pictures of my coin: [ATTACH=full]602518[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]602519[/ATTACH] I am no expert. Is there something that makes this look like a cast? The exact weight of my coin is 22,73 gr, as opposed to 23,30 gr quoted for the one sold by CNG. Could this be within the range of measurement deviations? I doubt that 0,57 gr can fall victim to manipulations. On the other hand, I do not see any obvious manipulations in the area at 5 o´clock on the obverse of my coin that looks like a hole on the CNG coin. Should´t it be expected that filling a hole would increase the weight of a coin instead of lowering it? Or may what appears as different in the two coins be actually just different lighting conditions?[/QUOTE]
