While the weight could match if&nbsp; shown sitting on a scale, this may not indicate it has an original&nbsp; compositon, or that the scale is correctly calibrated either. The weight could be correct but it could be a replica. The seller shows the coin, IN an Air-Tite holder, sitting <u>on</u> a scale together <i>with</i> a dealers name card and a hand written note saying what the coin is, but the scale is either NOT turned on, or isn&#039;t detectible in the photo as to what the weight of it is, regardless of all the junk added to the scale. Also, are&nbsp; you not even a little bit concerned how this seller pictures themselves&nbsp; pinching this coin between their fingers on the obv and rev of the coin&nbsp; as opposed to holding it by the rims? From the coins of this type that I have seen, this one looks way to clean. All the other sales this person has conducted are in selling common silver bullion. I haven&#039;t seen any other coins like this they&#039;ve listed in the past. I personally wouldn&#039;t go near this piece. I would suggest looking at a LOT more of these coins and to only consider buying raw coins from dealers you know which you can view first in person, or only those coins graded coins by the major TPGs until you know more about them. Would hate to see you spend money on a problem or find yourself in a problem trying to return the coin later if such issue arose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
