Any help would be appreciated. Not sure if my 1/2 oz dragon is real or fake. I carefully took it out of the capsule and weighed it. It came out to 16.1 g. I'm finding different weights for this coin, and I'm not exactly sure what it should weigh. Thank you

looks ok but check your scales (recalibrate with something you now weight is right)
should be 16.8gr

Dragon is my birth year!...... so it is 100% Fake....No doubt about it.....Honest 0:)


Want to swap it? :°:O


Looks very nice to me, if it is a fake then it is a damn good copy from the images.

May I ask where you got it?

​That's what I'm confused about. Numista says 16.8, but half of a troy ounce is around 15.55 g I think.
