Hi, I'm expecting their verdict today. I mailed it a fortnight ago and they said they should be able to give an opinion last Monday. After not hearing anything, I emailed on Tuesday and they said I should know by today as they wanted someone to have a look at it. I'm like a kid waiting for Christmas and will post their assessment here as soon as I hear. Fingers crossed for a verdict today.

Man! No email from Downies today.

Hopefully, the guy hasn't run off to Brazil with my coin... I guess I'll have to wait until Monday now.

Just received Downies' evaluation ...

My opinion is that it has been immersed in acid resulting in an overall weak image.

Thanks for the kind words Shanew. I would do the same thing again without hesitation if I thought I had a one-off in my hot little hand.

Sorry it was not what you were hoping for.
Keep looking, you never know what will turn up.
