This i dont know. will weigh tomorrow. $500 to $600?? are we talking about the same coin? only one i can find is in the Melbourne museum! The one in Melbourne museum has George slaying the dragon not the young queen, also planchet(i think this is what it is called) is not 180 deg out like the coin i display. does the foliage below Shield/crest also make it different? i am sure many people will find this coin interesting. all comments appreciated. macka
