[QUOTE="chrsmat71, post: 3089596, member: 42634"]Hmmmm...I hadn't considered the botched cleaned hypothesis. I guess I didn't think someone would buy a coin from an auction house and just decide to do some electrolysis on it or something to see if it would look nicer. There are some very minor differences in the flan and devices as some have pointed out, but how much of that is photography (as David points) out and what could be the effect of the harsh cleaning...well, I'm not sure now that I think about it. So the possibilities... 1. Mine is cast fake of the Leu coin. 2. Mine is botched cleaned and resold Leu coin. 3. Obverse and reverse die match. The flan seems to similar for this option? Thanks for all of your comments on this everyone I appreciate it! More please! :woot:[/QUOTE]
