Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 09/08/2014 04:58 am I can see the 'pearl' of which you speak, on the second coin, but I wouldn't discard its authenticity on that alone. I can see what looks like 'pearls' at 4 o'clock on the reverse of the first coin, too. Have you identified the coin, yet? Did they 'cast' some coins at that time? Report this Post to the Staff

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 09/08/2014 08:53 am Thanks FR. I have asked the seller to look at it for me. It is the better of the two and it may well be the photographs that make it look suspect. Report this Post to the Staff
