Greenstang Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Welcome to the forum As stated, we need a clear photo of both sides of each coin. There are many collectors who think they have a Small Date when it is actually a Large Date so we will need proof before determining what you have.

powermad5000 Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Hello and welcome to the forum! As stated, we would need photos of both sides of the coins to be able to form any kind of opinion on what you have, but what is more concerning to me is your given weight of 3g. Coins need to be weighed with a scale that reads to the hundredth of a gram (0.01g). Anything less than this will be an inaccurate weight and not useful for coinage. Also, I highly question most scales presented in the forums here as many are cheap pocket scales from China that are highly inaccurate even after calibration. What did you use to weigh these coins?
