I am really interesting in learning how to check if a coin is a
fake or not.
In this example, I see some strange colors and holes, but I do not know
if these are the result of oxidation, tooling and wear or to a
fake process.
13.33 gr
27.8 mm
3.8 mm thickness
There are green and purple parts. How can you explain these colors ?
In the purple
part, we can see the hand with and without the upper layer
of the coin. Is it the
patina or the deposition layer of a
fake process ?
Is it a genuine or a
fake ?
How can you explain these signs ?
