twood89 Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 07/28/2020 5:32 pm All of the coins I posted today all seem to either have sharply detailed shinier surfaces (heavy cleaning perhaps) or are underweight. I suspect some of these coins I posted today are crystallized. What exactly do you mean by "horrifyingly genuine"? Report this Post to the Staff

travelcoin Pillar of the Community United States 1120 Posts	Posted 07/29/2020 6:42 pm It's a a genuine example of a Gordian III Antoninianus. Quote: significant environmental damage. It would be difficult to fake . Yes, I have quite a few with those black deposits that are impossible to remove. Report this Post to the Staff
