[QUOTE="Marsyas Mike, post: 7836406, member: 85693"]Thank you Richard. I appreciate the input and agree with your observation on wear. However, mine is quite pitted - pitting is not really a respecter of protected areas; the fields suffering as much as the legends/devices. Of course the pitting could just be a counterfeiter's way of making a cast fake look more "ancient." Not sure why they would go to the bother to lower the grade to such an extent, but I don't have a criminal mind! :angelic:[/QUOTE]
