    Hey guys,

    I literally have no clue who this is. It appears to be silver though, but I would love any help you could provide. Thanks!

    Could be wrong, but looks like a fake and aged to look old.

    Welcome to CoinTalk @Xodus ! Sorry about that coin. Would you mind sharing with us how you acquired it? And what do you plan to do with it? I believe there is a CT member who is putting together a collection of fake coins in order to use them as a teaching tool. But I can't remember which member it is. Maybe he will read this thread.

    Hey there. Yes, I bought it on eBay from someone named CoinGirl. She had a 100% rating with over 2000+ feedback so I took a chance on it. Luckily I can send it back.

    Interesting @Xodus . Thanks for that information and it is great that you can send it back. Hopefully, you won't have to eat any shipping charges. Nice to have you on CoinTalk!

    I use Photoshop Elements 11 but there are many free programs which will do this type of basic editing. There are a couple of thread which has a video of how to do it using a free online program:

    There are many ways to accomplish the same thing.
