<p>[QUOTE="DomitLover, post: 3317863, member: 100771"]AL kowsky, That coin not mine unfortunately but I just found that as a good example to demo what horn silver means. But I have been told a positive thing about horn silver is that it generally a good indication of authenticity as it is hard to create and happens for ages in burial conditions. Also removing it sometimes not good idea as it exposes the uneven surfaces under that. Actually these Nero example I believe that someone did try to remove the horn silver but left part of it as it was risky to remove. You can see the other area of coin has uneven surfaces that seems to be result of horn silver removal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
