<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dafydd, post: 26342707, member: 86815&quot;]Interesting comment [USER=10103]@green18[/USER] .</p><p>The original post was started because I am not clever or experienced enough to know what the stains are on my coin and I sought advice. I am grateful for positive comments. I like [USER=104064]@KBBPLL[/USER]&#039;s comment and what was achieved with his coins.</p><p>My coin has lasted 400 years and statistically I will be dead in another 20 so as custodian I am minded to ensure that I know about the stain and will it progress or can it be cured?</p><p>To give a Sheldon score on a 400 year old hammered coin is laughable as every single coin is different so I would submit to check authenticity ( it is real I&#039;ve done a XRF test before wasting my time) to prove to others it is genuine.&nbsp; Also if they can improve the coin visually with this one it could raise the value by 3 figures so no way will I &quot;fold my tent&quot; . I live in the real world.</p><p>I know it is likely to come back as details &quot;field smoothed&quot; because they all seem to be but they are so rare it doesn&#039;t affect value in this grade.</p><p>If the grader had a bad day and argued with his wife over breakfast and injects venom into his grade so what? I will crack it out of the plastic as I do with a lot of others and it will be sold as a lovely raw coin without the TPG nonsense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
