<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2133856, member: 42773&quot;]I&#039;m in the camp that says the coin is authentic, but over-cleaned. It looks like it&#039;s been scrubbed of horn silver and/or other deposits, and that could account for the weight loss and rough surfaces. I saw a handful of coins in similar condition in Baltimore - nicely detailed coins too, but time did not treat them well and cleaning treated them even worse.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize this coin came in a mixed lot, so this is no criticism of your buying decisions, but the best advice on the FORVM thread came from Arminius: never buy silver coins that look like this. They always leave you wondering.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
