<p>[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 376966, member: 360"]Interesting thread, but I agree - to stamp it with "ATOCHA 1622" kinda really hurts the coin. I call fake on this. If it was a real coin, surely they would've known that defacing it like that in any way, would hurt its desirability. </p><p><br /></p><p>It reminds me of a lady I saw at an antiques fair once. She had all these interesting things for sale. Nobody was buying what she had, because like an idiot, she'd written all the prices right across the tops and fronts of her wares - in permanent marker.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
