<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scarborough, post: 3663593, member: 93146&quot;]Thanks to Mat and shanxi for your replies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Pardon the copy of the photos that follow. I’m limited to the cameras in my Samsung phone and Surface tablet.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, for Mat, here are the obverse and reverse together. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]985195[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mat commented that perhaps I might keep the coin if it was priced as plated. Unfortunately it was not. To purchase it I needed to bid over estimate. And now that I’ll be returning it, I’m sure there will be a difference of opinion on who pays for couriers, taxes, clearance and insurance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Shanxi asked if I was certain about the flaking silver showing the core underneath. Again apologies for the dreadful enlargement below.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]985196[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The brown coloured area at the bottom of the O in POT is below the surface of the silver. Under a better magnification I see a clean break in the silver all the way around.&nbsp; That’s why I think that a silver layer covers a non-silver core.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks to both.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
