<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3176768, member: 76086"]A little late to the discussion. In some cases breakage can be a good thing: it can confirm whether an item is genuine or not. In this case it let you examine the patina in a way that you could not when it was intact (and I believe it to be genuine). Your repair job is pretty good, though the addition of patina might be an issue for the next person who owns it. I have never repaired a coin before, but have repaired hundreds of pottery and glass antiquities. In all cases I do not cover up the breaks nor fill the crack lines. I feel they are more attractive that way, but that is a personal taste.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
