<p>[QUOTE="Pavlos, post: 3191334, member: 96635"]I am a beginner and when I doubt if a coin is real or fake on its appearance, I always look at the weight. A coin can look real but if the weight is completely off then there is definitely something wrong. And that 'something wrong' does not immediately mean it is fake, it can also be flaking, corrosion, damage etc that lowers the weight, however significant weight differences point to fake (for example your coin). I learned that sometimes it is best to just skip a coin when doubting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
