sir next and final question. Is it real? Is there a way to authenthicate this coin? It weighed 10.2 grams from the 11.1 original weight.
I see no reason to doubt its authenticity, it looks fine to me.
The weight difference is nothing to be worried about, with wear and a little damage I see no problem with its weight.
I am certainly no expert but it looks 100% fine to me.
Nice find.
