<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3514162, member: 112&quot;]I think you&#039;ll find that&#039;s actually a P.J. - and it&#039;s the assayer mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pretty sure you&#039;ve already got your answer about the spots - they don&#039;t look like casting bubbles to me either. And if you look on the obv you can see kind of a sideways V shaped pattern to them with a void, no spots, in the middle of it. That makes me think something lay against the coin for a long time resulting in a toning pattern shaped like that. And I don&#039;t mean a pattern in spots, I mean a solid dark pattern. Then, at some point, the coin was dipped, over-dipped even. And the spots, they&#039;re what the dip didn&#039;t take off the coin because they were left deep in the pitting caused by the toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I see nothing to make me think the coin is a fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - And I see now somebody already answered about the PJ. By the way, I wouldn&#039;t bother trying to submit it, unless you&#039;ll be happy with a details slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
