I have a ND (1912) Chinese dollar Y321 (I hope). Diameter is correct at 39mm. BUT weight is over. Coin spec is 26.5 Grams mine weighs 29 Grams. Fake?  If so, what weighs more than silver that looks silver? Also cannot locate official thickness for the coin. Anyone know what it is? N#16003 

Much Thanks

Looks fake to me. Is it magnetic? Where did you get it?
