<p>[QUOTE=&quot;silentnviolent, post: 1450797, member: 8797&quot;]It&#039;s a high quality one, though. And from the date on the letter, prior to mass internet availability. It&#039;s a nice example of an older forgery and I&#039;m suprised at the level of sophistication. Are you able to weigh it to the .00 grams? What does the edge reeding look like? Keep it as an example so you can compare in the future. If it was cast it should weigh considerably less, as the metal (even if it&#039;s a silver fake) wouldn&#039;t have been compressed through striking and would be less dense. If it&#039;s a real 1916 with added mintmark, try giving it an isopropyl alcohol bath (rubbing alcohol). Just soak it. Don&#039;t rub it or the luster will be gone. The D may come off if it&#039;s an added mintmark. If not, then no harm, no foul, just let the alcohol evaporate....&nbsp; &nbsp; Or if everyone in the family hates it sell it and the letter to me so I can have a fake to compare with in the future <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
