<p>[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 1010853, member: 16994"]I think there are way too many contact marks there to possibly call anything a definitive casting pit.

The hole was possibly filled with a small piece of copper and then soldered (the solder looks like a brass based solder anyways)...also I have also seen gold discolor around soldered areas. </p><p><br /></p><p>I still feel this is a genuine coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
