Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 11:22 am Im thinking it looks acid dipped or ED father than fake. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 9:35 pm Pretty sure it's not acid dipped, as the weight is right on. It is more heat that makes a coin have that rippled effect. But heat does not make that screwy eye and cliff-like profile. A cast fake does. Thanks for all the great comments!
