<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CoinGurl777, post: 7743053, member: 121426&quot;]The black stuff on the edges of the coin are exactly like what comes off of my sterling silver necklaces when I clean them. It looks identical to the stuff off of the necklaces when gently rubbed with a microfiber cloth, and smells exactly the same too. I can smell the same as I gently rub it off of my necklaces, earrings, rings, etc. which are of sterling silver though, so I have to admit if they&#039;re faking tarnish, they did a really excellent job of faking it. This coin was bought in 1959, so it had to have been setup as a convincing fake before then, because when it was purchased it wasn&#039;t in any coin holders, or cases, or anything like that, but instead was bought from a coin dealer who was known in his area (somewhere in Illinois) to be incredibly reputable with pretty much all coinage he handled. Maybe this helps clarify just a tiny bit more?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
