[QUOTE="Ian, post: 82124, member: 283"]That's good to know. :D I did a bit of colour correction on the basis of knowing that the background was white, and my concerns vanished just like the marks. So I can say it now....Nice coin to have in your collection! :) I'll have to dig out the one I bought as `genuine' a good few years ago. It had a couple of similar light marks. Of course over the years those light marks got bigger eventually exposing that the coin was in fact silver washed base metal. A damn clever counterfeit that caught me out and unawares. Of course I never thought back then to weight it. I didn't have suitable scales back then in any event. Ian[/QUOTE]
