This is a lot like a "Smackdown" topic. It got a lot of good responses, including submissions of interesting coins one would not expect to "win." Do you think we should prefer this format to the contest format of Smackdowns?

Even though I have yet to win and probably will not win, I prefer the contest format. I like the competition even though I need a handicap  . |

I still like the competition format (as long as there aren't too many rules ... unfortunately, the last competition kinda went-off the tracks a wee bit) ... It's actually I bit too bad, because the ol' Green-theme would have been a total winner for SMACKDOWN, but now the whole wow-factor has already been exploited through this thread ... ... oh well, I'm sure that there are still numerous other winner SMACKDOWN-topics out there waiting on deck!!?

Sometimes we can readily tell that the green is real...  sometimes the green is false.....  This second coin is an example of a waxy patina that appeared on coins sold by "monneron" a few years back... Martin |

This was the handle of an ebay seller that sold many coins a few years back. Many people questioned their authenticity. |

Do you believe the patinas are false or the coins?
