Entrepid New Member Canada 34 Posts	Posted 09/10/2020 2:54 pm I've been going through some coins stored in paper albums, and came across two 1920 large coins. One of them is gold in colour. Can anyone tell me what this is? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Entrepid New Member Canada 34 Posts	Posted 09/10/2020 8:03 pm Here are some cropped photos. Do you use a camera for photos ... I only have access to my phone. :-( If it is plated, does that make it less valuable? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Hard to grade based on these photos [don't sweat that @Entrepid - coin photography is an odd little niche] but I would guess it's EF. The band of the crown is complete and I believe I can see all eight pearls, strong-ish lines around the eye and eyebrow etc.... What a strange thing! If this were my coin I would put it in my beloved though largely valueless love tokens section. Report this Post to the Staff
Entrepid New Member Canada 34 Posts	Posted 09/11/2020 5:27 pm Haha! "love tokens section!" I'm trying to catalogue and eventually get rid of my coins ... kids don't want them, unfortunately.Still, oddities are interesting. Perhaps someone in my father's family did this one and one other, for fun. Report this Post to the Staff
