Jared96 Posted September 19 · Member Share Posted September 19 I am wondering if anyone has any explanations for the rough surface of this coin. In my experience these types are generally quite smooth so I was concerned to see the much rougher surface of this one. Does anyone think there is cause for concern here, either from the roughness or anything else? Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand Posted September 21 · Member Share Posted September 21 Hello @Jared96. Welcome to Nvmis Forvms. I'm not an expert in analyzing the surface of coins, and I'm not very knowledgeable about your coin type. I can offer some theories. Perhaps the rough surface was caused by corrosion, especially if the coin was submerged in sea water. Or, perhaps the rough surface is evidence, that the coin is a fake, cast from an authentic example, using a sand mold. Does your coin have a casting seam on the edge, or file marks (to hide a casting seam) on the edge? Can you show a photo, of the other side of the coin? Can you measure the maximum diameter, and the weight of the coin? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
