Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 824 Posts	Posted 12/30/2021 4:22 pm I am trying to learn and interested to get your thoughts on the reverse of the following coin. What might have happened to the reverse? Was it a coin that was dug up or was it in salt water for years? or something different? https://www.ebay.com/itm/144346254195 Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4415 Posts	Posted 12/30/2021 4:51 pm IMHO, this coin appears to have undergone ED, been scrubbed and had the surfaces "reconditioned." It likely looked far worse before the treatment. While it's a fairly sharp details coin, to me it's an over-priced filler. Report this Post to the Staff
