Superhal Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 12:23 am I'm worried about my 1993 ASE, it appears that the outer layer of silver is wearing out and revealing what appears to be copper underneath: Angle 1: Angle 2: Is this a fake ASE or is that just normal tarnish? Also, rate my photography please, using a Sony-s600 PTB. :D Which angle is a better picture? I didn't get a good pic of the obverse, but there is some normal looking tarnish on the other side. Thanks. :) Report this Post to the Staff

Pipewelder Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 12:30 am For the picture, directly above coin with 2 sources of indirect light (both sides) with NO flash will give a great pic. For the ASE I am not qualified to say. All mine are shiny new. Report this Post to the Staff

Superhal Valued Member United States 315 Posts	Posted 10/04/2013 6:43 pm Weight on this coin is good, ~31.4 grams. I have another coin I'm worried about, it is 31.1, failed ding test, passed tissue test. Edited by Superhal 10/04/2013 6:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
