<p>[QUOTE="The_Cave_Troll, post: 131077, member: 1674"]The exact quote from the dealer was "I don't know if that is genuine, and I want to be certain that you understand that I am selling it as a fake." So the dealer was up front about his suspicions and I found it intriguing and cheap, so I picked it up. The ring is right and the weight is right so I think it is silver and if it is it's intrinsic value is more than double my cost. There were a number of times when silver coins only had a tiny fraction of their face value in silver and so it was very profitable to make fakes out of the proper metallic composition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
