[QUOTE="BenSi, post: 3091548, member: 95174"]Yes, the silver coating did exist and did wear off quickly. About 15 years ago a huge hoard of John II and Manuel entered the coin market, the price of Trachea collapsed for a time, the coins that came in were still mostly silvered , some more than others but with handling the silver coating wore off. The metal mix still contained silver but the coating was a thin layer for visual effect. My coin does not seem that delicate, in fact I bought it before the hoard came into the market. I was concerned at the time of the new hoard that my coin would never regain its buy price again.[/QUOTE]
