Plus, the coin has too much definition to be in such bad shape. The wire brush possibility alone doesn&#039;t explain the damage.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black">Also, this appears to be a Cohen 3 variety, which is RARE and ripe for counterfeiting! I love the coin, just hate the good possibility it could be a fake.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ribbit&nbsp; :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
