Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 08:36 am I'm repatriating this one from Italy. Any opinions? Does that appear to be vestiges of red in the denticles? The green isn't that troublesome. The spots are small and can be removed without damaging the coin.

Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 11/02/2011 12:41 pm Hey Dave ....... How's the new camera rig? You think that's just corrosion in the denticles? .. The alloy they used for these cents is pitiful. Trying to find one of these coins with good surfaces is worse than the proverbial needle in a haystack. I think it was reasonable at 63 Euros ppd from Venice. Maybe I won't think so when it gets here, but it seems reasonable now. Chance Chance Report this Post to the Staff
