<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3391312, member: 78244&quot;]So I pulled this coin out again because I like holding it and examining it (who wouldn’t!), and I noticed something absolutely cool! There are impressions on the reverse, called patina transfer, from where another coin was up against my coin in the ground. They were broken apart in (relatively) recent times and parted ways.</p><p><br /></p><p>The left is how it appears on my coin, and the right is reversed to show the strokes of the mystery coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]901046[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>These are the strokes I am sure of.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]901047[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I made the assumption that the mystery coin had to be a Wang Wang coin, and it appeared that the value-400 spade was the closest fit. Here is my (very rough) extrapolation.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]901048[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some examples. Lining my coin up with these shows that the size of the mystery impression is consistent with the value-400 spade.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]901049[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]901050[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]901051[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts are welcome.
