<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1729304, member: 19463"]Notice these are of an alloy that often shows columnar crystallization traces (or full crackling as on Bing's). I see enough on the OP coin that I believe the metal is old and good. I was once told that this characteristic is hard to fake but that was years ago and technology is always favoring fakers. These days I don't trust anything fully but I see nothing here to make me suspicious.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mine:</p><p>[ATTACH]269747.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
