<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4498738, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;d like to see the C magnified a lot.&nbsp; It appears to have ragged raised edges that look silvery rather than coppery.&nbsp; To me the style looks modern but silvery bumps suggests the C was applied before the surrounding red area was cleaned.&nbsp; The coin may not be a copy but I wonder if the person who applied the C possibly thought so.&nbsp; Was the dark material removed by the acetone possibly added locally to make the C less objectionable?&nbsp; It is a very interesting item.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This question reminds me of a coin I fail to understand.&nbsp; It is a Messembria diobol purchased in 1998 but not Black Sea Hoard and with a reversed E in the legend.&nbsp; I could never get over the chance that the modern countermark was a Cyrillic H (=N for Nyet = no good).&nbsp; I hope you figure out your coin in under 22 years. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1115670[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
