1812 5 Francs Coin

5 posts • viewed 370 times
I was cleaning out and decluttering my storage when I found this coin it was covered in something sticky spilled stuff in a bag of toiletries I thought it was a silver dollar. I rinsed it off and well you see what it is. I have done my own research and now I am asking you what's it worth? It didn't react to a magnet. It weighs a little over 17 grams. It has all the correct hallmarks to be real. The lettering around the edges are badly faded but are there. So what's it worth? I know there are fakes out there so...

The problem is that your coin is too light. It should be 25 grams so yours may be a fake. I'll let other members with more experience than I to give their opinion.
Hi.
Weight well off even for wear.
IMO.
Good luck.
As said before it is a fake coin.

The diameter is 1⅜” (34.9 mm) and should be 37 mm.
The weight is 17 g and should be 25 g.
The edge is not correct.
