[QUOTE="borgovan, post: 458766, member: 13016"]The coin appears to be authentic to me. I see no evidence of it being counterfeit. The green is just copper oxidizing. Do some homework before you do anything to the coin, but I've seen this kind of stuff come off with acetone (do not use nail polish remover, as it often has additives -- find pure acetone instead). I've also seen some success with a low-acidity olive oil soak. There are plenty of copper experts around here who may be able to provide more advice.[/QUOTE]
