I was just wondering if someone could tell me if this coin is ok. I weighed it and it is indeed 8.6g so I assume it is fine but just want re-assurance. Grade is fine? Not sure I am a newbie.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I have to do this in 2 posts as the max size is 100k and I don't know how to reduce it.
Full Version: Is this ok?
Here is the other side.

The pictures appear OK to me ... but which mintmaster initials are on the edge?
Looks like Apolon Grasgov.
I just saw there is another whole long thread about this type of coin and how common the fakes are. So if the weight is correct and the mintmaster is ok then what other qualities should I be aware of? Perhaps I can be reasonable sure that this coin is authentic?
As a newbie I feel like I won't buy any more costly coins without a slab. It makes me sad that you have to be so careful with so many crooks around. Ah well.
