<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 3563735, member: 72790"]New purchase at a local coin show. Nice looking denarius of Glabrio, Salus, BUT, the coin is significantly underweight. Everything I can find out there is about 3.7 grams and this one is underweight, coming in at 2.9 grams. I thought the coin looked good though nobody around seemed to have a scale to weigh this before the purchase. I wonder if members can tell from my less than stellar images if they can detect something (besides the light weight) that would make them suspicious about the coin. The image of the edge (no seam visible) shows what looks like a break in the fabric of the coin and I am wondering if it may be a plated fourees. I can probably get my money back as I have bought other coins from this guy but if it a fourees I would keep it for what I payed for it. Any learned opinions welcome. Thanks[ATTACH=full]947674[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]947677[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]947679[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
