<p>[QUOTE=&quot;springfld.arsenal, post: 342944, member: 54&quot;]I know zip about coins but I’d think a silver coin minted in 1783 would have some patina.&nbsp; Coin on left obviously lacks it.&nbsp; If real, maybe it was chemically cleaned and left in a corrosive fluid too long, removing enough metal to both leave pits and remove the weight difference noted.&nbsp; Is cleaning old coins a common practice?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
