[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 25347277, member: 10461"]I don’t [I]think[/I] there’s any scientific way to determine whether a graffito is ancient or modern? But in most cases, on an ancient gold coin, I would tend to suspect it is legitimately ancient. After all, who in modern times would deliberately scratch an ancient gold coin and reduce its value, right? Unless the graffiti said something like “[I]Kilroy was here[/I]”, or “[I]The Beatles are Fab[/I]”, of course… ;)[/QUOTE]
