<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4960286, member: 19463&quot;]While I am not a specialist in this series, the coin has a look of having been scrubbed in cleaning which might cause some weight loss.&nbsp; The problem is that such scrubbing can remove dirt or also remove signs of fakery.&nbsp; The detail I see in the face of Nike and the crispness of the letters makes me tend to accept the coin as genuine but my confidence in the matter is not by any means certain.&nbsp; It might help to know any background on the coin.&nbsp; For example, a coin bought from a metal detectorist of from a large find commercially processed in recent years might be expected to have been poorly cleaned than one found years ago before some of our modern cleaning techniques were common.&nbsp; I hope you will keep us posted on what you learn from specialists but my first step would be to research as many of the type as you can find and see just how unusual the weight really is.&nbsp; My coin below is 2.0g but different in too many ways to be of any help .&nbsp; It is easier to find sales listings for the finest coins of common types than for the average grade ones so I would be able to accept some weight loss as normal.&nbsp; Still, yours seems quite light.&nbsp; Sorry to be of no help.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1192401[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
