Hello!

The condition of coins is perfect (like for me).
The weight is 2,9 and 3,0 gr. diametrs is correct...

Looks like a restrike.

It's not the obverse and reverse that bother me, but the edges are just too damn sharp. You don't see that even on uncirculated coins at the time.

These were struck in Paris, and by the end of 19th century the Paris minters knew how to make sharp edges. The coin on the image looks OK, don't worry.
