SwamperBob, ever seen anything like this? Crude design like something you'd see on a contemporary forgery, but the coin itself looks to be of modern fabrication? Doesn't look like a button, either...

MathieuMa Pillar of the Community France 1591 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 03:08 am Hehe, I saw this one as well, it was ... odd ... indeed :) I noticed there is a small writing under the date, maybe it would give an explanation. Here is another one (cast) I noticed just before : http://cgi.ebay.com/Mexico-ZACATECA..._2412wt_1281 Report this Post to the Staff

Larryh86GT Valued Member United States 326 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 10:39 am It looks like a crude toy coin. I can't make out what is stamped below the date either. Probably says "copy". Report this Post to the Staff
Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 01/11/2012 5:42 pm I think the stamp under the date is a silver hallmark for sterling silver. I think is see a lion, making it a British hallmark which would probably make it a British replica. Report this Post to the Staff
