FixxxeR New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 04:00 am This is about the best I could capture of other side. I tried the image enhancer on this forum... Helped a bit. And thanks for the welcome. So far I like this site! Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 04:12 am On the 2nd side, can you see any words or numbers? The first picture looks a little like a love token, a little like a pendant. And can you give us the dimensions plus the weight? Report this Post to the Staff
FixxxeR New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 04:39 am There is no numbers, I'm not sure if the first picture shows a monogram? Or eyes playing tricks. On the harder to see side of coin, there is a stag depicted. Its kind of worn and hard to see, but certain its a stag. Slightly smaller than an american quarter, and I dont have a jewelers scale to weigh, but it is close to the same weight too. I'll add another pic for size comparison Report this Post to the Staff

FixxxeR New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 05:46 am Its a three piece.... Something. The 2 sides are actually 2 pieces then wrapped with another piece for the edge. I hadn't considered a button.... It seems to be mostly copper or bronze? But has a lot of varying tones. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16873 Posts	Posted 02/04/2016 8:12 pm The monogram on the front appears to be "BTRR" - perhaps a railroad button? Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
RogerRamjet Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 02/05/2016 12:57 am I agree that the BTRR "logo" appears to represent a railroad. If you squint, it almost looks like a steam engine viewed head on. The style of the letters is appropriate for the era of steam engines. Grasping at straws, there was a Mississippi River & Bonne Terre Railroad that might have been simply Bonne Terre Railroad before some merger. Knowing where this item was found might provide a useful clue. Report this Post to the Staff
