<p>[QUOTE="StevenHarden, post: 8091810, member: 67639"]Hello again everyone. Just finishing off this thread. I met with the owner of the piece mentioned and was able to weigh it. The proper weight should be 10.89 grams, whereas this piece weighed only 9.26 grams. After taking the coin out of the 2x2 I was able to view the edge and could tell the thickness was off and evidence of tooling resulting in the smooth reverse. The owner says he will use it as a conversation piece and will try to do more research before purchasing an item that "seems to good to be true".</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
