8.5% is not slightly off. Looks like casting bubbles?

no image of the edge, this coin isn't mine (yet), everything shown is from the seller and he only showed the weight, front, and back

More like casting voids typical of a cast surface.

Regardless, if the weight is that much off I'd pass it by.

This seller is listing all his at 5.3 g., not 5.7.

…this one at 5.4 g. So maybe the Numista value is high?

Definitely looks as fake as a mother in laws kiss. As others have said looks like it has been cast
