valdiman Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 575 Posts	Posted 08/25/2010 07:47 am I think is not real.Beads on obverse are in very good condition but lettering next to it (1-2 oclock)is heavily damaged.Strange coloration.Just a thought. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/25/2010 12:41 pm The surfaces aren't original. I can think of a few legitimate events which might lead to this look, most involving trauma during the coin's circulation, with perhaps some artificial, um, "correction" later. I believe it's real. Not that I'd spend money on it to find out. Report this Post to the Staff

jakeW Pillar of the Community United States 689 Posts	Posted 08/25/2010 5:21 pm if that was original condition, why would he just hold it in his hand like that? Hes obviously not worried about damaging it. Report this Post to the Staff
