<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 8178781, member: 82549&quot;]The reason ancient collectors are suspicious of pitting is because of casting bubbles--places where minute amounts of air gets trapped in a mold when a cast copy is made of a coin. But the key word here is &quot;bubbles,&quot; which are perfectly round. If you see circular pits on a coin&#039;s surface, you should consider the possibility that it is a cast fake. Irregularly shaped pits, like those on the reverse of your coin, are likely the result of normal wear and tear. </p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy your coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
