prsferreira Valued Member Brazil 146 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 12:25 pm Really, my friend. It is badly damaged. Do you also see something like that on the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 02/28/2017 8:07 pm @prsferreira, it seems odd it me that the outline of the bust and whatever is on the rev are outlined in black, almost like they are inked or painted on the surface of the coin. Could you please immerse this coin in pure acetone and then post new pics? I'm probably wrong, but this might help.

prsferreira Valued Member Brazil 146 Posts	Posted 03/01/2017 08:53 am Wow! Really, my friend. Now the obverse seems to be of the republic, what do you think? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34447 Posts	Posted 03/01/2017 7:46 pm Your coin looks better after its swim in acetone! I'm not sure if we are going to be able to get much further though.
