Poland 1555 Lithuanian Groschen

It will be interesting to see what NGC thinks. Besides the harsh cleaning something just feels a bit off. The bread and head details seem very finely detailed for a coin in this era.

All these coins are'nt genuine......

I had remembered your post with those coins with the dark, uneven patina. But I did not remember the 1555 was one of them

I had compared it with this higher grade example on CoinArchives: https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...81d6b2ed3b67 I should have been suspicious of the sharper details.

... and I had used the NGC-eBay service before bidding, and received an opinion of "likely genuine."
So hopefully I can get a refund ... maybe from two places.

And if not... lesson learned.

Yes, that's exactly how it works.

tdziemia, thanks for the info. I didn't know this service existed. I almost want to list my undergraded PCGS Ducaton on ebay and then get NGC's opinion on it. :D

I bought a few off of ebay. Little more worn. More for curiosity sake and love of Poland's history. I will try and post pictures later when I have the chance.

Thank you JBuck! I don't know how I stumbled onto this board, but when I looked around I felt at home. Haha

Thanks jbuck!
