[QUOTE="furryfrog02, post: 7838976, member: 41219"]Purchased this guy on the cheap based off blurry photos. Figured I'd give it a shot. It arrived today and something just seems "off" to me. Mainly the surfaces and the near perfect roundness. I looked on forvm fakes and there isn't anything listed like it so I figured I'd put it up here and see what you all thought. The softness on the obverse/head is in the same place as the softness on the mintmark on the reverse. Wildwinds lists "180 combinations of regnal year, mintmark, and officina letters known" so it is a bit hard to narrow down other examples. Weight: 16.88g Diameter: 31.9mm on the 12-6 axis and 33mm on the 9-3 axis Thickness: 2.5-2.9mm [ATTACH=full]1348114[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1348113[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1348112[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1348111[/ATTACH] Thanks for looking![/QUOTE]
