[QUOTE="Roerbakmix, post: 4849743, member: 100731"]Just ignore [USER=112998]@ernstk[/USER] (I've since this thread pressed the 'ignore' button - press his name, and look for 'ignore' in the user screen). Imho, it's the exact same coin, but something happened to it between 2016 and 2020. It's difficult to judge based on photo's alone, but there might have been bronze disease on it (2016) that's removed in 2020, see examples below: 2016: [ATTACH=full]1171089[/ATTACH] 2020: [ATTACH=full]1171090[/ATTACH] 2016: [ATTACH=full]1171093[/ATTACH] 2020: [ATTACH=full]1171094[/ATTACH] note how the S from S C has a more pitted appearance; overall, the appearance of the coin is more pitted and rough. I would not be surprised if they treated the coin for bronze disease, and then coated it with a wax. This is not wrong per se: it avoids the destruction of a coin. However, I would definitely be on the lookout for new instances of bronze diseases. Also, I would apply acetone to the coin as to remove the wax (if any).[/QUOTE]
