Hi there guys!I'm looking for someone with strong knowledge on swedish dalers to get an opinion regarding a piece that i've recently purchased. It's a 1563,Erik XIV daler(tooled or removed from a silver cup!?) that only weights 21.5 grams which is a big issue since the normal weight is aprox. 29 grams.The major weight difference most likely suggests a fake ,but i've managed to find a similar coin(first picture)sold for 2650 on ma-shops,weighting 21.1 grams so now i don't know what to think.I've already contacted two major swedish auction houses, but to my disappointment none replied to my email.Looking forward to hear some thoughts!
It looks like someone tried to hide the casting roughness by mercilessly polishing the coin, they were unsuccessful.
