Message:: [QUOTE="cwtokenman, post: 628902, member: 2100"]Judging strictly from the photos, I assume that the remnants of gilt are taken to be the small lighter colored areas located mostly in the first photo. That does not look at all right to me. Especially when one considers that if so little of the gilt remains, I would not expect to see ANY gilt remaining on a high spot. The "O", "R" and "U" still show areas of "gilt", and a few other letters seem to show small spots of it. The edges of those areas do not look right to me either. The two largest spots of "gilt" in the second photo are high areas - the letter "D" and a denticle. I could be wrong, but I would say that if that is gilt present on the token, it is not original.[/QUOTE]
