[QUOTE="19mustang67, post: 2979353, member: 92637"]I looked on aliexpress at the 1813 coin. None of the coins for sale on there match mine exactly. By looking at the back of the coin I can see obvious differences in the details. I'm thinking that if these coins are fakes they are probably older fakes. Also they have the Fert on the edge. Doubt the modern fakers are bothering to do that. I used my wifes little kitchen scale to weigh the coins. It is not digital. They are all around 23 grams according to this cheap scale. A little light? They measure just slightly under 1 1/2 inches in diameter. That seems right. Still not sure. I do agree on the 1911 I feel like that coin is the most likely to be genuine. Then I think if it is good what is it doing with other copies? Maybe they are all ok? Or all bad? Going to try and post on the Italian coin forum although I only know English so that should be interesting. Thank you for all of the suggestions and help![/QUOTE]
