<p>[QUOTE="Hoky77, post: 3919779, member: 97374"]I mentioned the chips in a reply to paddyman98 but there is more. The whole surface of the coin was grainy, even the worn surfaces. I have seen this graininess in Buffalo Nickels that have have been acid soaked to bring back the date but I can think of no reason that this coin should have been so treated. Under glass the marked area along the denticles (especially to the right of the date ) seemed to have some sort of material embedded in the coin. I took this to be remnants of the mold. I also showed a fellow enthusiast the coin and after a long look he told me to decide for myself. I checked the sellers auctions weekly for over a month after the coin was returned and as far as I know he never put it back up for auction. This all happened a couple of years ago, before I was a member here. I found these pics looking for something else and figured they would make a good post. Who knows, maybe you guys could have talked me out of the return.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
