<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 4140221, member: 84905&quot;]It looks like copper showing through on Victoria&#039;s chest and leg. If that is true, the coin was struck in copper, as usual. The silvering sure does not look like silverwash that was applied before the coin was struck, but it Looks like a silvering that was applied later (perhaps much later).</p><p><br /></p><p>If the coin is &quot;pure&quot; silver, i.e. silver or silvery metal through and through, then it might be a modern cast. I don&#039;t believe, that the coin was accidentially struck in good silver, not least because of the copper showing through. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would keep it as a curiosity. I shall post my silvered Quintillus Antoninian later on. The surfaces look quite similar to your coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
