<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 4774644, member: 78244&quot;]I had an expert examine this coin, and he called it fake for exactly the same reasons I did in my initial examination. So I treated this coin to undo what had been done to the patina to make it look authentic again. I also chipped off some of the patina to analyze its composition and form of the character underneath. The patina was indeed an earthy crust and not a bonded metal, and the character stroke underneath was sharp and uniform.</p><p><br /></p><p>The colors of the patina are much more apparent now, and the texture is no longer smooth and pebbly.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of these things confirm my original conclusion. I am now much more confident in calling this coin genuine. The value has also increased as a result.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1162513[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1162514[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
