<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hookman, post: 3553025, member: 99642&quot;]Looking at the coin, all I can say is....WoW....that&#039;s some DEF DAM (definitely damaged) , but after reading the other opinions my suggestion would be to find a Gold and Silver buyer in your local area who has an XRF gun and have them shoot it for you. The gun will have a screen which will show a complete analysis of the metallic content of the coin, including any plating.</p><p>I buy a lot of coins on eBay and whenever I receive a coin that is the least bit suspect, that is what I do.</p><p>That has worked for me every time.&nbsp;&nbsp; The gun I use does not analyze just the surface of the coin. It shoots a beam which goes through the coin and gives the composition and amounts of each metal, in that &quot;slice&quot; of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
