I had mentioned several months ago if he and his wife ever wanted to get rid of it I would love to hang it in my office at work. Well they surprised me tonight by giving to me as a Christmas present. I took a picture of it next to a regular nickel. Obviously by the copyright it is not old, but has anyone seen anything like it before? I really don't care if it's valuable because I think it's cool, and it has sentimental value to me. But was curious if anyone had run across something like this before. Report this Post to the Staff

Rewster Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 12/22/2011 12:26 pm I would say the face of it is about ½" thick, the circumference edge is about 1/2" thick, and the front to back measurement of the edge is about an 1½" thick. (I hope that makes sense) I don't have a scale, and I'm a terrible estimator of weights, but if I had to guess I'd say about 7-10 lb. Report this Post to the Staff
