MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1567 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 11:38 am Thank you Ron. I have rifled through some of my stuff I have had a while so when you get a free minute drop me a line via the usual. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 8:12 pm Any thoughts on why this coin looks a little like it was plated (especially around the edge as you can see in the pic below)? Not necessarily saying it is fake or a fourree, but I'm bothered by the surface. A rescue from a fire?

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 8:25 pm When I first saw this coin I though the same thing. I believe the coin is genuine but has environmental damage and what appears to be horn silver. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 11/08/2018 8:35 pm Ok I'm sure you are right Ron, but to my uneducated eyes, it was concerning.
