<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nicholas Molinari, post: 10462388, member: 78411&quot;]Perhaps.&nbsp; But I think the real meat of the argument is the encrustations.&nbsp; If an author can demonstrate that such encrustations can be easily faked with 18th century technology, or is able to find that such encrustations can form on a coin that has only been buried for a year or so, that would be sufficent evidence. Or, perhaps they can examine some 17th century gold coins that have dirt on them from 300 years ago that have now formed into encrustations. None of those require further analysis of the actual coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another option would be just a general (professional) response to all the authors&#039; points.&nbsp; One need not prove that the theory is false, but add to the conversation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
