<p>[QUOTE="Geli Bartlett, post: 1890634, member: 68432"]Thank you for your observations and suggestions; I'll try to get a really good photo of the coin to you asap. I'm pretty sure that it is a silver cladding but it would be interesting to know when the coin was made; if it's a valid bronze coin and when the "improvements" were added. I'm a trained jeweller/silversmith and so have an appreciation of the metals involved and how they behave. The coin was quite alright when I first held it so I suppose it was just about to come apart.</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, a numismatist friend of my husband's is advising me to write to the shop, ask for a refund and threaten to inform the police. I'm pretty skeptical of this approach - both its efficacy and whether I want to escalate the situation. I wish the fellow would just reply to my reasonable requests for information.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
