luke_idk Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hallo everybody. I got two different coins of the issue in the subject, classified by Krause as 843.1 and 843.2 (different mint marks). The point is that weights are really differente. Krause's weight is 6.4 grams, but the first one i owe is 6.6 and the second one 6.0. Latter's thickness in really lower. I'd like to know if anybody knows this differebce or if I have to consider the case of forgery Thanks in advance Luca 843.1 843.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I'm not familiar with the series, but given that zinc was a relatively low cost metal, I'm wondering if perhaps that quality control / weight tolerance on this issue was more liberal than usual perhaps?

Jokerman Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 As ccg says; these are made of zinc which is an low cost metal. The price for these are also so low that forgery is out of the question. According to SIEGs catalogue the value og each is between 0,5 and 1 Euro in grade 1+ (Very Fine/Bellissimo).

luke_idk Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Forgery could be a nonsense, in fact. I can add an interesting figure. Thickness should be 2.0 mmand it is for the first one, but it's 1.8 for the second one and that's what I regard as an important point of interest.
