<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Colonialjohn, post: 4080753, member: 57741&quot;]As noted in Forgotten Coins in the World Section gold wash or gold plated contemporary circulating counterfeits favor a copper host. Silver or gold wash adhere to copper hosts better than brass or bronze as in French plated (i.e., brass hosts) counterfeits. This appears to be gold wash left in this area on the reverse. A simple XRF scan would confirm this observation. Should have good interest to gold collectors and a gold wash XRF confirmed scan obviously would help its sale on EBAY.</p><p><br /></p><p>John Lorenzo</p><p>Numismatist[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
