<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FreakyGarrettC, post: 492803, member: 15832&quot;]The more I have looked at this coin the more I think it is fake. There is doubling on the lower portion of the ribbon the rim is too wide and too narrow in places. The 9 is way to wide ( could be cause by squishing though ) and the x on the back has a different color metal showing through, or maybe it is dirt. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>I am getting better at this lol. :high5:</p><p>I just decided to take a gamble on this because my neighbor&nbsp; bought this coin for $200 and thought he got a good deal and his was probably in VG. </p><p>The first thing I am doing when it comes in is stick a magnet to it, than take it to a jeweler to get it weighed/measure, and then I will take it to F.U.N. and get others opinions on authenticity. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>And if it is genuine it has undoubtedly been cleaned do to too white of a surface with black in between lettering. It looks like someone used Tarn-X on it because I see no patina that is supposed to be on a 200+ year (silver, I think) coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
