<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 195636, member: 283&quot;]Here&#039;s a turn up for the books. This coin was sold to me as a contemporary fake of a Lubeck gulden of 32 schillings. It weighed in at the proper weight however, and seemed to be the proper dimensions. Originally it looked like a copper core with a lttle bit of silvering. As you can see from the `curation&#039; work i&#039;ve done on it, it now looks more like the silver coin that it actually is.</p><p><br /></p><p>The staining on the coin is likely due to fire damage which has caused some of the copper content in the silver to leach to the surface (or something along these lines.
