<p>[QUOTE="GinoLR, post: 26234181, member: 128351"]I don't know if the copper color on the photo is a result of the light when the picture was taken or if, in your hand, it's actually yellow. The surface of the coin shows marks of acid, it has been cleaned by electrolysis. If, in the same water, there was another AE coin being cleaned at the same time, a thin layer of copper may have been transfered on the owl's silver surface. I have seen this phenomenon. </p><p>Judging just from your pics, of course, I see no obvious reason to doubt your owl's authenticity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
