ksammut Pillar of the Community United States 1003 Posts	Posted 06/16/2015 7:38 pm Sorry to break it to you, but this coin is not silver, just silver plated. The real composition is Bronze. The value is pretty much gone because of this damage, but it would be worth around $4-$5 without any damage. lovecoins: The "black spots" you see are actually places where the bronze underneath shows through.

Sap Moderator Australia 16835 Posts	Posted 06/16/2015 10:49 pm Ksammut is correct, sorry. This coin has been painted or plated. Perhaps by someone hoping to fool somebody else into accepting it as a florin or halfcrown. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
