I am concerned about the edge. There should be lettering, but it&#039;s not clear, and I&#039;m not sure if we have a fine thin weld on the edge that has been disguised with tooling. I couldn&#039;t find much info online about how Cromwell crowns are faked (which I am sure they are, since these coins are a big deal). Electrotype copy? What do you think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
