Is this coin fake? It suppose to weight 3.42 grams. I hope it real.

Like I said on your other thread, I don't think it's fake, given how common these early 19th century Austrian coppers are.

I agree with Cass, this coin is very common and it doesn't make a sense to fake it. Is your weight working correct ?

A better question maybe is: is the weight in Krause (and therefore also in our catalogue) correct?

The coin is OK. The weight in Krause (3.42 gr) is wrong.

Thank you for the replies. What a relief! How does Krause determines the weight of a coin, do they weight one coin or many and just write the average?

I doubt if the writers of the Krause catalog have ever had a coin in there hands...
