Several years ago I bought this coin, but I have never felt 100% sure about it. Finished the ice test in less than half a second and it weighs 381.7 grains (edit 24.73g) using my dads gunpowder measurer thingy, but Ill use an electric scale at my campus to verify. I also did a ring test and it sounds similar to other coins of its size.

Hello there,
this is a common coins but I've allready seen some fake...
My doubt are:the weighs too low, the edge near the date too thin, and the reliefs not so clear (but it can be the photos).
Can You show me the edge? (Fert and stars)
Best regards!
