Odee13 Valued Member United States 408 Posts	Posted 08/22/2026 3:59 pm Going through some of my ASE's. I wonder what the reverse was sitting on and what it says. I see possibly "Litt" and "coin" above it. I'm guessing Littleton coin company. Edited by Odee13 08/22/2026 4:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 104829 Posts	Posted 08/22/2026 11:05 pm Before I scrolled down to the rest of the comment, I went and flipped the image and ended up with what Hondo did above. But I'll guess that the coin was in a clear plastic coin holder and the Littleton name was printed on the plastic flip and 'protected the reverse from toning out properly. It could make for a nice pocket piece now I don't see a mint mark, so this is a bullion coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
