louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1306 Posts	Posted 02/05/2019 7:33 pm On close inspection, blowing up the photo, the letters look like from a fine strike, the die might have been worn in places. It is clean of any incrustation but the porous metal is not uncommon for others of this ruler. In my opinion it is a real coin. No concerns. Report this Post to the Staff

louisvillekyshop CCF Advertiser United States 1306 Posts	Posted 02/05/2019 8:52 pm Echizento; At first the color does seem more like zinc, but then I thought perhaps that also means our friend in Brazil is quite ill and is very off color. So I corrected his skin color and the coin changed as you see below. Hope that is not a problem, I am not saying having a blue skin color is not a good look on someone. But it does suggest some disease conditions and I'd rather just think his lighting for the photo was off. Report this Post to the Staff
prsferreira Valued Member Brazil 146 Posts	Posted 02/05/2019 9:22 pm Indeed, it seems to be a silver coin indeed. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 02/06/2019 12:13 am It seems the coin is ex Numismatik Naumann (Gitbud & Naumann), Auction 35, 2015, lot 689. Provenance doesn't prove that a coin is genuine but finding it in an auction record is certainly better than finding it in a fake report. https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=2594979 Edited by Kushanshah 02/06/2019 12:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
