<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 826456, member: 5036&quot;]Take this Trime, beautiful isn&#039;t it.&nbsp; Nice look, toning not bad, strike ok, about an XF-45/AU-50 coin, nice all around.&nbsp; </p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/003.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/004.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Except it is FAKE!&nbsp; Oh yeah, if the date doesn&#039;t set you off (it is diagnostically incorrect, the numbers should be thicker and the flag on the 1 has a different slope and the 7 should have an obvious hump in the middle.), then the weight should be a dead giveaway 1.05g.&nbsp; The correct wieght for the later years of trimes are .75 grams. I&#039;d give it some leeway, but not that much.&nbsp; The planchet is much too thick and the coin comes in at 14.52 mm, way out of tolerances for the series as well.&nbsp; These dang chinese fakes are going to be the end of the hobby as a hobbiest.&nbsp; It may get to the point where everyone has to be an absolute expert in every series just to buy a nice coin.&nbsp; Blech.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
