    Please take a look at the below coin. In hand the coin looks plated ... it just looks 'wrong'. The details are too dulled, or soft, yet so very shiney.

    Any thoughts??

    yeah, there is that too :) Krause lists the coin as Aluminum-Bronze, so i wasnt sure if the color was off, or if that was the color of a band spanking new looking Aluminum-Bronze coin
