Cyraxrulez New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 06/11/2022 2:00 pm Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, I obtained all my grandpa's coins, this one stood out and I couldn't find anything on it, it could be fake I have no idea,he's been dead for 30 years, it's just been sitting in a tin. Someone said it looked plated, I don't know what that means if it is or isn't, did they have fake coins back in the day? Edited by Cyraxrulez 06/11/2022 3:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
