<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 936461, member: 19463&quot;]I see the lion head right on the top two and left on the bottom two.&nbsp; If all are the same item with different orientation and lighting this just proves we see what we want to see.&nbsp; I have never seen one that looks this bad and would have expected electrum to have weathered differently but have no experience to back up that thought.&nbsp; Unless you specific gravity test is off, it hard can be anything else but I&#039;d stop short of saying the item is identifiable as is.&nbsp; A serious reservation is&nbsp; how the coin could be overweight and look that bad.&nbsp; Were it mine, I&#039;d keep it as an educational item but would not be able to sell it as what I thought/hoped it was.&nbsp; One serious student I know calls a coin like this a &#039;ghost&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
