john momenee New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 10/10/2010 12:43 am Can anyone help me identify a coin I found in change, the same size as a US quarter, on one side a stylized head that appears to be of a viking with a semi-circle of stars on the under side of the head, and the other side has 4 characters that are not recognizable as either arabic or asian, the last character is a capital "I", and a full circle of stars on the outer edge. I'm guessing it's a token and the characters may be runes. I would appreciate any info. Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 10/10/2010 01:37 am Well it's defiantly some sort of fantasy token. I've never seen one quite like this before. Report this Post to the Staff

Do a forum search for "pachinko" to see threads with numerous other types of these tokens. 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
