<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4885379, member: 19463"]Read all the Zeno posting before deciding who to believe. If the coin is genuine and heavily crystallized it should break if dropped on a hard surface but, if the metal is modern and solid, the fake should survive. I believe this it how they tried witches in Salem. I tend toward not destroying the coin out of curiosity. There is a place at the obverse top that looks like a small hole torn out. It might be interesting to look into that area of the edge with a microscope. My opinion here would be worthless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
