<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dos Mundos, post: 67833, member: 4021&quot;]Thanks for the link, nice picture, I&#039;ve been looking for something like that since I acquired this coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; You didn&#039;t have to apologize, it&#039;s all good animated discourse.&nbsp; We are all here to learn and share.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a scenario that could have happened.&nbsp; In my opinion I think its no stretch to think that a coin that&#039;s been mishandled and cleaned by incompetent and ignorant persons can end up looking like our suspect coin.&nbsp; Sometimes collections can be passed to disinterested and impoverished kin who don&#039;t know their value and sell it to similarly ignorant buyers who sell it to more ignorant buyers and so on and so forth. We&#039;re talking of more than a hundred years here and the coin is now in the hot, wet and humid Philippines which doesn&#039;t help matters any <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course the next scenario would be that the coin was made in China or some other country by unscrupulous individuals and sold to an unsuspecting buyer who sold it to another and another until subsequently finding its way to this country&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, real or not, its a beautiful piece and I intend to keep it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Thanks for the discourse, you have a very nice forum here and I enjoy it.&nbsp; I just hope there was one like this which dealt with Philippine coins like you do with your fine U.S. coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
