Ancientnoob Pillar of the Community United States 5155 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 11:27 am Well that's good news. Something's are tough to see in photo. If the dies were rusted most big namers will describe it as such. If you have the option of returning the coin if unsatisfied, then this is a good sign of inhand confidence, such things are priceless. Good luck my friend. Report this Post to the Staff
FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 07/30/2013 1:46 pm At first look I had no problem with this coin. But 'noob' is right about what look like bubbles. And ..... they are precisely where I would expect them to be. In corners and crevices where they are difficult to vibrate out during the 'investment' I would need to see an extreme enlargement of the 'suspects'. Even the scrape area might be explained if it were connected to an attempt to disguise something. Perplexing coins like this were a primary reason I (99%) stopped buying silver coinage. I have seen too many fakes that I would have bought without any hesitation. The people of the 'East' have been expert metal workers since the times when we in the west were running naked through the snow chasing deer off cliffs.
