Definitely has a home with me... although part of me wants to let it keep circulating. Also snagged a 1915 Buffalo in same roll.

Its an odd finish... seems very durable to just be marker or something similar.

I have had fun with different Pentel pens. 'Toning' can look more authentic with one color only. If you don't like it, an acetone bath will help.
Personally, I like it as is. In Victorian England, enamelled coins were popular, and the best ones can bring decent prices at auction these days.

I definitely like it. Just a common coin without the finish :)

Yea, I bet that one was easy to spot in the pile. Could it be anodized? I guess the acetone would tell.

I am going to hit it with a tiny dot of acetone later just to see how it reacts.

Quote: Don't do it! That's cool like it is, I think. Yeah, haven't done it yet. I did have some reservations about altering it. If I did, I was going to do an area hopefully least visable. Still undecided.
