<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1340463, member: 26302&quot;]Scales can help, especially with certain issues. For this one probably not. I got a small electronic scale off of Ebay for about $60 to give you an idea. You want it accurate to hundredths of grams, and read up to 100 grams, and have a tare setting.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they had been better with the casting seam, you could have looked at the coin and seen how the softness had nothing to do with the wear, but was over everything. This is common with cast coins. This coin, if real, would have been worth $100 at least, and probably more. Clean and shiny is not reliable since many ancients are cleaned well, and if worn can appear shiny.</p><p><br /></p><p>Best advice? Look at lots of coins, and read lots of posts here and other forums. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
