Oooh ...... aaah ...... DRAT!

Picked this up at the North Haven, CT show this Sunday. Looked pretty good until I got it home and weighed it. Should be 25.0 grams is 22.8 grams. Like they say: there is no Santa Claus in Numismatics!

    That's one expensive coin, if real. Hope you didn't pay too much Gene.

    When I saw it, I had no idea about its true value, I just liked the design and the look. Paid $50 for this lesson.

    Now you know why I take a small battery operated electronic scale, an accurate caliper, and my loupe, whenever I go coin shopping.image
