Dear Numista Experts,
Measuring the weight of an UNC coin I've found a value much higher than the weight listed on your site. Can we discuss it, Roman Republic 1 baiocco 1849? I attach photos to the message:
Your site gives 9.5g while I measured 10.22g!!! From my understanding, there could be three possible explanations:
1. The coin I discuss is fake. But if you would look at it, I hope you will agree that it is genuine.
2. Big scatter in coins' weights. I saw 10-20% in modern coins so this difference is quite possible, right?
3. The weight listed on your site was measured not for an UNC coin. Krause catalog is careful and does not give any weight at all. Therefore, I opened this topic in catalog's discussion to discuss the third possibility. Where 9.5g comes from?
Best regards
