<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thoswfrank, post: 2651613, member: 85365&quot;]I purchased this coin many years ago from a German dealer on eBay to fill a void in a German type set. It was not cheap. It has been in storage for many years and I was just looking at it. It was in coin protector and I had never examined it closely before but I now note some irregularities that suggest it is either a fake or a poor strike. The stamping on the rim is correct but weak. Most notable is the flaw to the right of the 3 on the reverse. I am military and am just unpacking after a big move so I don&#039;t have any of my reference books available. The weight is just shy of 11 g. I think I know the answer but I&#039;d be delighted if any of you can tell me this is a good piece. </p><p>Thanks</p><p>Tom[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
